It appears that Syslog-ng is really what i'm looking for. With Syslog-ng =
i do not need to change the code of the services (pop3, ssh, etc) so =
that they can generate to the syslog facility the log in XML format. If =
i can make a template in Syslog-ng, my work is simplified and inforced =
in quality.
My question now is in the GPLed licensing. For what i know this kind of =
licensing makes me possible to change the code (even if i don't need) =
and distribute it freely (even if my intentions are only to make an =
academic work). For this i only need to state that the code was changed =
and offer no warraty, right??.
So the bottom line is that i can use freely the code of Syslog-ng to the =
academic work? (and it appears that i only need to make the template).
(i have no ideas at least for now to make the final program commercial)
Thanks again for your help
