syslog Daemon
A UNIX style syslog daemon (syslogd) process has been added. Syslogd reads
system events and forwards system messages to users and/or writes the events
to log files according to your system configuration.
Introduction
Syslogd reads system events and forwards system messages to users and/or
stores them in log files according to your system configuration. Events are
categorized by facility and severity. Please refer to the manual pages on your
UNIX system for a list of facilities and severity levels. The log process is used
to log errors and system events on the local machine and are sent to a user or
system administrator. The daemon is constantly running and ready to receive
messages from system processes. The events are logged according to the
statements in the configuration file. In addition, syslogd is enabled to receive
messages from a remote machine. Syslogd listens to UDP port 514 for system
events. A remote machine does not have to be running UNIX to forward
messages to syslogd. But it must follow the basic syslog message format
standard.
