1) Install a Firewall in your network

2) The easy one!!!  give the comand:
 mknod /etc/whatever p

to create a named pipe, edit /etc/syslog.conf , quote every line out, and
cretate one:
*.*                                             /etc/whatever

Then write a small program to:
1. Open the File.
2. Wait for input
3. Filter that input
4. Write what you want, on your LOG file.
5. get back to 2.

I ve something like that working, but everything is hardcoded...

This is not the BEST way to solve it... but it works, WARNING: launch your
program FIRST than
syslogd, or syslogd, will be killed, cuz there's no one reading the pipe!!

for an eg. give me a mail!
