Or yet another, I like this one best. syslog-ng generates a random value which it will use to generate hash #0, then a copy of this random value is sent to the sysadmin in an email message. Later when somebody wants to check logfile integrity, a copy of this key is needed. This could also be a security risk if that message remains on the same box.

I'm very much a *n?x newbie so this may be an incredibly stupid idea, but FWIW how about PGP encrypting the email using the admin's public key? - Ian
