Re: [Wrapper-user] syslog logging

[Leif M. <le...@ta...>]

Bruce,
    I will admit some ignorance in this area.   Currently I am using the 
LOG_USER
facility.  The code is as follows:

    openlog( loginfoSourceName, LOG_PID | LOG_NDELAY, LOG_USER );
    syslog( eventType, "%s", szBuff );
    closelog( );

    Looking at the man page for openlog I see a large number of facility 
values.
What do you suggest here?  Would making it possible to configure any of them
be recommended?  Setting the facility appears to decide which log file 
the message
ends up in.
    How do you normally configure a remote logging host.

Cheers,
Leif
