[ale] Setting up a Centralized Syslog server.

[John Cole]

Howdy all!

Currently I have just one device that is spitting out Syslog files.  I'm
currently trying to setup a centralized syslog server that will handle
firewall, vpn, windows event logs from servers, etc.

I know that I can setup the firewall/vpn do point to local0-local7.  I want
to have each incoming log dumped to a different file.  There are about 10
servers that I want to do this on.  Does anyone have any pointers on how to
make this work?

Also, I'm at a crossroads between going with RH and SuSe.  Any
ideas/comments on both for making something like this work?

Thanks,
John Cole, TICSA
