Hi, I've build many LFS systems using sysklogd as per the book. However new remote logging systems are asking for logging features that sysklogd does not possess. These include port changes (other than what is in /etc/services, which is where syklogd picks up its port) and logs being sent over TCP with TLS on a configurable port (RFC5424/25). I examined a couple of replacements and see that rsyslog appears to include these features . Before starting on replacing the logger in my system build I thought I'd ask the question as to whether any thoughts had been given to upgrading LFS from sysklogd to a more modern package for remote logging?
