How do I Setup Linux to receive logging messages from my pix 501. I already have logging configured on the pix firewall. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

Syslog comes with linux by default, it's up and running when you first

start your system.

you have a bunch of log files in /var/log... your syslog file is

/var/log/syslog (in SuSE is /var/log/messages)...

To view it on your console try to tail it:

tail -f /var/log/messages

(do a man tail to learn all options of the tail command).

I suppose you want a remote syslog server...

Mmmm... this one is a cool article on how to setup a remote log server:

Hope this help

and also

For a cost effective way to generate a web-based output of your syslogs use fwlogwatch. Syslog to a linux server and use fwlogwatch to generate nice HTML based reports. It does the usual linux ipchains, iptables, and Cisco IOS and PIX logs.
