This is a pretty off-the-wall question, but I figure I'd give it a shot ;-) I work in a largely Solaris shop and have to deal with many of the quirks of its syslog implementation. One of these quirks came up when I tried on a hunch to get multiple event streams to feed into the same named pipe, which would then get pushed off to a network management system. The reason I wanted to do this was organizational; i.e. have all routers log to local7.debug on my log server, switches log to local6.debug, ras servers to local5.debug and so on. From what I've seen in early tests, this type of setup either causes Sun's syslogd fits or could potentially clobber data being written to the pipe. My questions are: 1) has anyone ever tried anything like this? 2) is syslog-ng capable of supporting a setup like this on a Solaris 2.7 box? tia jms
