This should depend of your syslog. If it has the possibility to filter messages, it should be able to differentiate the messages on the hostname field. My syslog does not have such facility, so I'd have to go for a "named pipe". If I understand this concept correctly, you setup a program (a perl script or similar) that generates a virtual file (like /var/log/fifo-1) which is entered as output file, preceded with a | sign (read syslogd man page for details). This perl script would be able to do any regex matching or whatever you like on the syslog messages from remote hosts. > What about having the workstation clocks in sync with the server? You have the freedom to generate an additional startup script which calls "ntpdate" to retrieve correct and precise clock time and then hwclock --systohc to copy that time into the mainboard-soldered clock chip. Advice: Setup a local ntp server (e.g. on your LTSP server) and let that sysnc against reliable time sources; all LTSP clients then can sync against the LTSP server. I use ptbtime1.ptb.de and ptbtime2.ptb.de (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig/Germany), who run an atomic clock precision time server - you'll surely find hundreds of hosts to use elsewhere on the world.
