>From listening to the thread do far, it seems that the main threat to syslog
is through the denial of service caused by filling up the loghosts disk. It 
might therefore be a good idea to have /var/log or where ever you want the
logging to go, be a separate partition so that your loghost can not be screwed
up by filling up it's root partition.
