Can anybody give some pointers on how one would configure syslogd to log
messages to a different machine on the network ?  (and likewise how to set
up the destination machine to accept them)

Right now I've been mounting /var/log from the destination machine to the
log machines but I don't really like doing this because of potential NFS
locking problems.

TIA
