Sending syslog events to a syslog server

Sending syslog events to a syslog server

[Prentis Brooks]

Hey Guys,
        I have done some digging around and I can't find any information on
how to configure the syslogd cygwin port so that it sends events to a remote
syslog server.  I tried the standard syslog.conf settings but a syslogd -d
generates "unknown priority name" for each priority I assign to that host,
even if I use * which should work for all.  Has anyone done this yet?

You can't.  Syslogs are sent to a file on 9x/Me and to the NT event
log system on NT/2K/XP.  Therefore installing syslogd makes no sense
at all.

What about a patch to Cygwin which allows usage of syslogd if
it's available, instead?

resources ;)...

I will take a look at it when I can to see if such a patch is not too difficult
for me.  Unfortunately, my speed is in perl not c.  If I come up with a patch,
you can be sure I will send it to the list and to you as the maintainer.
