I've just purchased one and it arrived today and I installed DD-WRT and |
| 12 |
then upgraded to OpenWRT. It's working well but obviously I've only |
| 13 |
just started working with it. |

OpenWRT is running the BusyBox syslogd by default. I doubt it would take |
| 30 |
much to build a syslog-ng (or whatever other logger you prefer) if there |
| 31 |
isn't already a package for it. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Oh, I see that there already are syslog-ng (1.6.12-2) and syslog-ng3 |
| 34 |
(3.0.5-1) packages |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
You have iptables support so you can do pretty much anything you like |
| 37 |
with regards to logging. |
