[CentOS] Re: syslog remote computers

on 11-19-2008 4:02 PM Craig White spake the following:

Trying to figure out if there's a way to get syslog.conf to direct remote logging from a wireless access point to log to a separate file instead of the main syslog and can't figure out how that could be done from man syslog.conf (or man 2/3 of syslog)

this clearly doesn't work

192.168.1.251.* /var/log/WAP-2.log

which according to the man page, makes sense since this the IP address is not a facility.

Is there a way to do this that I am missing?

Craig

I'm not 100% sure that you can do this with the stock syslogd. You might need something like rsyslog to handle that.
