RE: Better Syslog server

This has been discussed in depth on the LogAnalysis mailing list (everything from alternative servers to a complete rewrite of the syslog protocol to accomodate more flexibility)

For direct product hints, I suggest you take a look at Syslog-NG. http://www.balabit.com/products/syslog_ng/ It's a clear favourite of mine. Very flexible.

Then we have msyslog from CORE-SDI. Supports some crypto stuff as well, but I think syslog-ng may be preferable in your case. http://sourceforge.net/projects/msyslog/

There are certainly several others out there with varying quality (there are even a bunch that run on NT/W2K, but I won't go into that, this being a Sun mailing list and all...)
