in the case of rsyslog, thats not the case :D I had a play with the 3.x 
tree today, and it *looks* ok to me. So might as well inflict it upon 
everyone else considering its in the Testing Repo, no sane person will 
use it in Production. Right ?

I shall have updated packages in a couple of days, prolly over the 
weekend. The package queue is quite long at the moment.

err, really ? you could do that with conventional syslog too.

you can syslog to a machine and it can syslog to another machine.... 
also, running over tcp is nicer, since you atleast now get a chance to 
do something about bits that dont make it.
