I am looking for a package that will provide application level logging and it looks to me like syslog-ng has the capabilities I am looking for. I am not quite sure that I would want to replace syslogd with syslog-ng. Would it be possible to have syslog-ng coexist with syslogd by having it listen on a different port? I would have write a version of syslog to communicate using the alternate port. Correct? Thanks, Ken ---------------------------------------------- Kenneth J.
