The syslog facility works as normal.
Edit the /etc/syslog.conf file (do a backup_conf afterwards!) and add lines
such as:
auth,authpriv.* @gateway.fireplug.net
daemon.* @gateway.fireplug.net
kern.* @gateway.fireplug.net
cron.* @gateway.fireplug.net
local0.* @gateway.fireplug.net
local1.* @gateway.fireplug.net
local2.* @gateway.fireplug.net
local3.* @gateway.fireplug.net
NOTE: The above are examples - they won't work for you because we restrict
incoming syslog entries on gateway.
Check out the man pages.
