Hi Darren, [posting as a contributor] I don't know GSSAPI or SASL well enough to evaluate their approriateness for securing syslog. Are you willing to write one or two drafts proposing these as possible solutions so the WG can evaluate them as alternatives? [posting as a contributor] David Harr

An advantage of TLS over SSH that is not technical in nature is that TLS/SSL is already found in very low end devices as it is used for other purposes. Utilizing it is far better than requiring that these devices now take on the additional SSH (or other) protocols. SSH tends not to be as widely dep

Tom, I have to admit I have overlooked this item. I agree that we (especially me) were very TLS-minded. My memories tell me we intentionally left the door open for other transports, but I may be wrong. As it looks, I need to re-visit the mailing list archive. I hope I will be able to do so soon.
