I am also looking for a "syslog-like" logging facility for SysV3.2 land that includes source. I am looking for most of the functionality of syslog but even something close would be good. Thanks, gray cgwst@unix.cis.pitt.edu

It's easy to port the 4.3BSD syslog library and syslogd to SVR3. Simply replace the BSD ipc with a named pipe. The major disadvantages of this scheme is that you can't send log messages accross wires, and it's rather inconvenient to log kernel messages. One of the top 5 workstation vendors has shipping such an implementation for about 4.5 years. The 4.3BSD syslog source should be available on uunet. Using the toy STREAMS log mechanism in the SVR3.0 source might be an easier IPC for kernel error logging. Vernon Schryver, vjs@calcite.uucp

HDB UUCP keeps statistics comparable to those held in SYSLOG in xferstats (under /usr/spool/uucp/.Admin). If you want a tool to *analyze* that data (as uusub used to do), try uureport or uutraffic. I prefer uureport, and can provide source. ----------------- uunet!media!ka3ovk!raysnec!shwake shwake@rsxtech
