*Everyone* is running syslog on their OS X server. OS X "client",
too. To be pedantic, it's actually asl as syslog in disguise.
a couple clients want their macs to route syslog output to their
internal xserver. the 10.4 command line instructions for osx server
don't work...good thing i backd up the /etc/rc file. ;)
Of course it's a good idea to backup any config file before you go
mucking with it. However, you wouldn't adjust this in /etc/rc, but
in the launchd plist that fires off syslog:
I'm sure this has been discussed on this list before, but for the
sake of completeness, you need to update the ProgramArguments key to
pass in the "-u" switch:
That'll make syslogd (asl) listen for remote syslog messages.
Something goes a little batty during the nightly job that makes
syslog stop listening, so, you should unload and reload it somewhere
after that job runs (like in daily.local).
Hope that helps.
yes, you guys have been very helpful...thanks! i got a few responses, all suggesting the same thing. i'll configure in the next couple days and will report back. setting up the clients to pipe to syslog server is pretty straight forward (thanks again for suggestions in the past couple weeks on that one).
thanks,
don
