[lug] logs

[John Starkey]

Check out msyslog. Used to be ssyslog. www.corest.com/download/download.html

It's hard to set up. Or it can be. But the devs are incredibly supportive. Join the mailing list if you have problems they are very cool peoples. Some of the builds have problems finding libmysql or libpgsql lately (for writing to a DB).

Good luck.
