Hi all,
I have just written a tutorial on encrypting syslog traffic. This is to be released as part of the 1.0 release of rsyslog. I would deeply appreciate if some of you could have a look at it and provide me some feedback.
My intention is to make encrypted syslog much more popular than it is nowadays. Besides a syslogd capable of doing it easy, good documentation is needed. The question is where I have arrrive - and what can be improved. I also intend to ship the configuration files as part of the rsyslogd package.
Please follow the link to the syslog encryption tutorial.
One important thing: as this is a preview, the rsyslog code necessary to actually *follow* the tutorial is not yet on the download servers. You need to obtain it from CVS hosted on sourceforge.
Please note that my main intention is to get some feedback on the text, so it probably is not necessary to follow with actual code (I except the next release of rsyslog to come out early next week).
Any feedback is highly appreciated.
Rainer Gerhards
