Jack;
A Cron job in Linux will handle automatically compressing and emailing
the log files. Further it can be expanded to handle writing them to tape.
Now a question to others that may be following this thread:
I read the man page for syslogd and it seems there is no way to separate
messages from ipchains from other kernel messages. You can break out other
messages based on their source to separate files but ipchain messages are
kernel messages and they are simply grouped together with all other kernel
messages. I wanted to port only the firewall - ipchain messages to a
separate file and play with running scripts against the logs to do a little
IDS. Is their a keyword I missed in the config file that will allow me send
only ipchain messages to an independent file?
