Hi, I was just wondering in these days of the big'n'mighty systems if there's a preference for the OS (more exactly Gentoo Linux or FreeBSD) of a central logserver using syslog-ng. Are there any OS-specific problems or specialities that I should be aware of if I'm using this or that OS? Or are there any syslog-ng specific things depending on the host OS? If anybody has some experience using those OSes as central logservers, would he say some words about the positive-negative sides (in private, maybe not everybody's interested in this chit-chat). The machine would receive logs from nearly 20 servers (mostly Linux and 3 Windows machines), and has the job to analyze the stuff periodically. Thanks in advance, Tamas

Ay, another question. Are there any known issues with OpenBSD? (Yes, I know, search the archives, but I'm interested in real life practices.) Any tips for creating a magic'n'secure OpenBSD syslog-ng box? Thanks again, Tamas
sparc64 seems to be broken. Syslog-ng works, but the IP address of the remote machine does not seem to make it and gets translated into localhost. This _may_ be true for amd64 as well, but I don't have any so I have not tested. I believe this is fixable, but I lost access to the Sparc64, so troubleshooting has come to a stand-still. I've used OpenBSD 3.5 & 3.6 with success (a port is available) with MySQL and the PHP syslog-ng stuff as well as Swatch. -Steve S. -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-admin@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-admin@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Tamas MEZEI Sent: Sunday, January 02, 2005 10:18 PM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: Re: [syslog-ng]which os for a central logserver?
