SDSC Secure Syslog

Posted by michael on from the footprints-in-the-snow dept.

Wee writes "I saw this morning that the San Diego Supercomputer Center has released Secure Syslog, a replacement for the standard Linux/UNIX syslog daemon they've been working on for some time. It adds security and performance features (modular design, highly scalable), while retaining backwards compatibility. According to their announcement, it is the first syslog implementation to target "syslog-reliable" (RFC 3195) functionality and it is the first syslog targeted at very high performance and forensically-sound auditing. It's currently under the UC's "free for non-commercial use" license, but they are looking at moving to a completely open license (BSD-style licensing was mentioned). If you have high-traffic systems and you need reliable syslogging, this might be a worth a look. Those needing syslogging over TCP/BEEP, sockets, etc as well as UDP might also want to check it out."

    I still want Bill Shatner to answer these!

    - Does green pussy taste the same as regular human pussy?

    - Is green pussy pink on the inside like regular human pussy, or is it another color? Is it blue?!!

    - Does green pussy taste stink as bad as regular human pussy, or does it smell better or worse?

    Answer now, you space-travelling asshole!

      If you ventured outside of giant unbathed fatties or cheap hookers, you'd realize that the "stink" claims are largely confined to skanks.

    I've never seen posts arrive so slowly in my life, trolls included. Looks like everyone just gives a shit about this one.

    Yup, GIVES A SHIT. I nice big soft stinky shit. A warm turd right from your anus into Taco's gaping mouth, easily sliding down his throat from all the sperm-lubricant lining it. Nothing like a great big belly full of poop, sitting around and watching football with the family. Naked. And with candels shoved up your asses.
