Hello List,
can you give me a hint: I have a Linux Backup Server (NAS) running Samba
and I want to transfer my logfiles to another Linux host.

It's Easy, but not satisfying with old syslog: I get all the messages in
the syslog file of the Linux Loghost.

I read that syslog-ng might be the best way for me:
I want to build a log Server with one directory per host and separate
files in these corresponding the services. like:
/var/log/NAS/messages
/var/log/NAS/warn
/var/log/NAS/mail
/var/log/NAS/samba/log.smbd
/var/log/NAS/samba/log.nmbd

and for our proxy:
/var/log/PROXY/messages
...
/var/log/squid/access.log
...

4 Questions:
Is this setup possible?
Do I need to setup syslog-ng on all Clients?
Does it make sense?
Does anybody have better recommendations?
Thanks a lot
