Configuring a UNIX System as a Syslog Server
To configure a UNIX System as a syslog server, use the following command.
• Configure a UNIX system as a syslog server by adding the following lines to /etc/syslog.conf on the
UNIX system and assigning write permissions to the file.
– Add line on a 4.1 BSD UNIX system. local7.debugging /var/log/ftos.log
– Add line on a 5.7 SunOS UNIX system. local7.debugging /var/adm/ftos.log
In the previous lines, local7 is the logging facility level and debugging is the severity level.
Changing System Logging Settings
You can change the default settings of the system logging by changing the severity level and the storage
location.
The default is to log all messages up to debug level, that is, all system messages. By changing the severity
level in the logging commands, you control the number of system messages logged.
