    Looking for alternatives to rsyslog in the package repository
(still in Daedalus), I see:

    busybox-syslogd
    inetutils-syslogd
    rsyslog
    syslog-ng

    I imagine inetutils-syslogd is the legacy syslogd server. I guess
it doesn't provide any of the dispatching facilities of rsyslog.
busybox-syslogd is rather dedicated to diskless boxes; it can, at least
forward the messages to a remote host, but the remote host needs a more
featurefull log mamagement.

    syslog-ng seems pretty rich also (as from the number of debian
packages).
