Franco, I am running a combination of about 50 systems (about equally mixed between IBM AIX, and SUN) with syslogd the logger on all but the central IBM AIX server which has syslog-ng. It does all of our syslog processing. Let me know what you're trying to do and I'll see if I've already tackled the work. John

I'm very new of this new feature syslog-ng so every advice is welcome! I try to configure the syslog.conf for the syslog daemon running on a IBM AIX platform to write messages on a loghost machine on Linux platform. Every attempt (following lots of advices) failed till now. So, if it's possible to use the syslog-ng to do this I'm going to do this but I would like to take a look at a simple script that shows more or less what should be written to obtain the result that I want. I'm going to take a look at the documentation but I think that could be very helpful to look at some previous working scripts that make a machine to write messages onto another machine.
