Hi, I want to install syslog-ng on my rhel4.0 box. I was going through the "Hardening Linux" book, Chapter 5 , "Understanding Logging and Log monitoring" . It is written there that in order to install syslog-ng, i have to first install the "libol" package . But I cannot find the package anywhere on this page: http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/upgrades.bbq which has been mentioned in the book. So I haven't started to install syslog-ng as yet. Please let me know the step by step procedure to install syslog-ng and ny dependencies with it.

The latest syslog-ng 1.6.x tarballs already contain libol, so simply download and compile them. The 1.9x and 2.0rc series don't use libol, they use eventlog instead. You can find eventlog starting from the following URL: http://www.balabit.com/downloads/ -- Sandor Geller wildy@balabit.hu
