For some applications, failure to write a log (locally or remotely) means denying a transaction. Most firewalls can do this with synchronous syslog over TCP. (No TCP ack on syslog packet, no connection allowed.) Definitely a case of "everything works for somebody, nothing works for everybody." -David -- Sent from Gmail Mobile
