The syslogd utility is used to record logs of all the
|
||||||
|
significant events that occur on a system. Every
|
||||||
|
message that is logged records the date and time of the
|
||||||
|
event, and will generally also record the name of the
|
||||||
|
application that generated the message. When used in
|
||||||
|
conjunction with klogd, messages from the Linux kernel
|
||||||
|
can also be recorded. This is terribly useful,
|
||||||
|
especially for finding what happened when somthing goes
|
||||||
|
wrong. And something almost always will go wrong if
|
||||||
|
you wait long enough....

When you enable this feature, the syslogd utility can
|
||||||
|
be used to send system log messages to another system
|
||||||
|
connected via a network. This allows the remote
|
||||||
|
machine to log all the system messages, which can be
|
||||||
|
terribly useful for reducing the number of serial
|
||||||
|
cables you use. It can also be a very good security
|
||||||
|
measure to prevent system logs from being tampered with
|
||||||
|
by an intruder.

|
When you enable this feature, the syslogd utility will
|
||||||
|
use a circular buffer to record system log messages.
|
||||||
|
When the buffer is filled it will continue to overwrite
|
||||||
|
the oldest messaged. This can be very useful for
|
||||||
|
systems with little or no perminant storage, since
|
||||||
|
otherwise system logs can eventually fill up your
|
||||||
|
entire filesystem, which may cause your system to
|
||||||
|
break badly.

If you enabled Circular Buffer support, you almost
|
||||||
|
certainly want to enable this feature as well. This
|
||||||
|
utility will allow you to read the messages that are
|
||||||
|
stored in the syslogd circular buffer.

klogd is a utility which which intercepts and logs all
|
||||||
|
messages from the Linux kernel and sends the messages
|
||||||
|
out to the 'syslogd' utility so they can be logged. If
|
||||||
|
you wish to record the messages produced by the kernel,
|
||||||
|
you should enable this option.

The logger utility allows you to send arbitrary text
|
||||||
|
messages to the 'syslogd' utility so they can be
|
||||||
|
logged. This is generally used to help locate problems
|
||||||
|
that occur within programs and scripts.
