Many thanks to Mark Hargrave,Alan Angulo and Jay Lessert. Sorry for late summary. Alan mentoned the need to restart /etc/init.d/inetsvc for loghost to take effect after you change your /etc/hosts. Still not sure if i have to. But log are being redirected to the loghost. *************** 0) man syslog.conf Understand the "facility", "level", and "action" parts of syslog.conf 1) Edit /etc/hosts in all machines and add the "loghost" alias. example: 123.123.123.123 admin-machine loghost 2) Edit /etc/syslog.conf and tell the other 3 machines where to send the messages. example: auth.notice ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost) 3) HUP the syslog daemon an all machines: kill -HUP `cat /etc/syslog.pid` ******************** *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit;user.none<tab>@hostname Where "hostname" is the system you want to receive the messages. Don't forget to restart the syslogd daemon. *********** On the 3 systems you want to report from, put the following in the /etc/syslog.conf file: You configure syslog.con on the 3 other systems. See the syslog.conf(4) man page, look for the string "@server". > How can i do the same to receive checkpoint firewall logs?
