Paul, By specifying what you want logged twice, once to a local log file, and a second time to a remote host, you can achieve this. The examples in "man syslog" show this: # Kernel messages are first, stored in the kernel # file, critical messages and higher ones also go # to another host and to the console # kern.* /var/adm/kernel kern.crit @finlandia kern.crit /dev/console kern.info;kern.!err /var/adm/kernel-info

I know you can redirect a log to a log host: can you dual-log to both the log host and the local machine at the same time? If not, what happens if you are using a log host and the host goes down ... does syslog revert back to the local machine /var/log/messages? Thanks, Paul
