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?
It's something to consider. I don't think many users actually use
remote logging over TLS, but it would be nice to have that available.
If you do add rsyslog, would you please get back to us to let us know
anything you find out including build and configuration instructions.
We probably would not add instructions for remote logging to the book,
but a hint for that would be appropriate.
