syslogd as shipped by redhat is capable of sendings logs to multiple locations. If you add a log rule like... # Log everything to central logging host *.* @10.0.0.1 ... to the head of your default /etc/syslogd.conf file all the following rules like... # Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher. # Don't log private authentication messages! *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none /var/log/messages ... are still going to function as before so both the central server and the local server will be sent a copy of each message.
