Personally I like sysklogd, as it is clean and easy to |
| 19 |
configure (not overly complex) and should fullfill the |
| 20 |
needs of most users. It is also fairly configured out of |
| 21 |
the box, and comes with a simlple logrotate script. |
| 22 |
Another point is that ours is configured to limit the |
| 23 |
logging to console, so no 'unasked for' logs while busy |
| 24 |
on irc, etc. |
