Hi,

Thanks to everyone who resonded to my query, just about everyone had the
same reply. The concensus was to use syslog to log the messages to the
LOGHOST, as described by Michael Price below.

>1. Define a host called loghost ( This will be your machine)

>2. Edit the syslog.conf files on the dungeon machines to log console
>messages to your machime loghost.
>
>3. Restart the syslog daemons on each machine.

>And thats all there is to it.

>If you have troubles lokk at the man pages for syslog.conf and syslogd

>Good Luck
