Hi Ted,<br>
<br>
We are using VMWare ESXi on our hypervisors. There's no need to run a
host OS and it's easy to set up. We haven't encountered any problems to
speak of. The guest OS that the radius servers run is CentOS.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Jonathan<br>

whoa. thats completely different to what the current server does,
virtual or not. what details do you want to syslog?
</pre>

For a start I want to syslog the stuff that usually goes into
radius.log - so the messages when the server starts (which are already
being syslogged successfully) and the summary line (Auth: Login OK)
printed after an authentication (which are currently not being sent to
syslog).<br>
<br>
I also want to syslog the stuff that normally gets filed away under
/var/log/radius/radacct - so details of radius packets for debugging.<br>
<br>
The reason for wanting to send everything to a log host on the network
is that the new generation of radius servers we are preparing are all
virtualised and only have a few GB of disk - so no room for logs.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
