+\section{Network Logging}
+
+Administered networks often make use of a central Log Server to store the
+SysLog output of the local servers. This is also a good approach when setting
+up a Log Analyser or IDS.
+
+To enable sending SysLog output via network for \command{syslogd}, simply alter
+it's flags in \file{/etc/rc.conf}. Use \code{-R Host[:Port]} to send all
+messages to \code{Host}, and \code{Port} (optional). To keep the messages
+locally also, give \code{-L} as additional flag.
