Remote Syslog
Using a remote syslog is highly recommended for troubleshooting because StarOS does not save syslog
entries between reboots. To prepare for doing this, you'll need to set up a central logging server that
starts the syslog daemon with the -r option. This will open UDP port 514 and accept syslog input from
external hosts. To prevent DOS attacks, use a packet filter (pf in *BSD or iptables in Linux) to block
unauthorized hosts.
Ensure you have set up NTP (above) so that you have accurate time records.
You may also need to reconfigure /etc/syslog.conf in your logging server to save the radio logs to the
log file of your choice.
