There is a better way. Edit /etc/rc.config on the server and set
SYSLOGD_PARAMS="-r"
The -r option allows remote machines to log to syslog. On the client
machine, edit /etc/syslog.conf and add line(s)
*.* @server
to log everything to the host named server. You may want to be more
selective. The left hand side is the usual syslog.conf patterns.

Hi
I'm setting up a linux network with one server and 6 clients connecting to it via NIS and NFS (all SuSE 7.0). Is it possible to log all of the messages that would normally be written to the clients' "/var/log/messages" to the server's /var/log/messages file.
I expect it can be done by mounting /var/log over NFS, but how safe/secure would this be? Is there a better way?
Thanks,
Andrew
