If by anyone, you mean anyone with some perl/shell knowledge and a PIX, then
yes, anyone can and has written them. Even me, and my code sucks.

With regard to AIX, sure there are. But generally Unix syslog, as opposed
to syslog from a router or firewall, contains messages from lots of
different pieces of software (i.e. Postfix vs. Sendmail, vsftpd vs. wu-ftpd,
vixie vs. anacron, etc.) so you will spend a little time putting things
together. But for security purposes, you can put together a quick list of
things to grep for off the top of your head (or in this case my head, but
you can take credit for it off list).
