[Sshguard-maintainers] syslog.conf | (pipe) on Redhat Linux

[Forrest A. <fo...@fo...>]

It appears we cannot use the same format in Redhat's syslog.conf as I 
can in  FreeBSD, ie: the | to a command directive.  The manpage 
specifies a "named pipe" for which mkfifo must be used to create first.

I read through the manpage and cannot see where else we can pipe the 
output of the logged actions to the stock syslog daemon.  Of course, the 
solution will be to try a third party application like rsyslogd or 
syslog-ng.  However, I wanted to be sure my facts were correct before 
doing so.


Thanks,

Forrest
