[rt-users] Syslog on Solaris 10

[Richard Ellis]

Hi,

I am currently moving our RT instance from 3.4 on a Solaris 9 machine to 
3.6 on a Solaris 10 machine and have run into a problem with the system 
logging.

For security reasons, our IT guys turn off  the default UDP port 514. 
When I asked why, they gave me the following:

"Our builds all turn off the remote syslog port 514. It is generally 
considered
a security risk. Some bad person could fill up your disk with bogus
messages.  Local apps should use syslog(3c) or logger(1) to write
to syslog."

Is there a way to convince RT to use logger or syslog(3c) or simply to 
write all log output to its own log file instead? This is causing RT to 
fail miserably.

Thanks

Richard
