The syslog daemon is a server process that provides a message logging facility for all application and system processes. The syslog daemon must be started before any other application or system process that uses it starts. Internet server applications and components use the syslog daemon for logging purposes and can also send trace information to the syslog daemon. Messages can be logged to files or to tape.
The syslog daemon processing is controlled by a configuration file named /etc/syslog.conf in which you define logging rules and output destinations for error messages, authorization violation messages, and trace data.
See TPF Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol for more information about the syslog daemon, the configuration file, and application considerations.
