That would work, too. With rsync you take the CPU and I/O hit all at once rather than spreading it out across the hour with syslog, but that would still be a lot less load than graphdefang imposes. To deal with clock sync issues, I would definitely suggest pulling the logfile rather than pushing it. It wouldn't be a good thing to be slightly out of sync and copy the logfiles 27 seconds after graphdefang runs... :-) Chris Myers Networks By Design _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
