I've setup a central syslog host on my local network and everything
appears to be functioning well. I was wondering if there was a way to
setup the syslog.conf so that syslog messages from each host could be
filed by hostname in the destination filename or subdirectory? For
example, messages from the host "workstation1" would be logged in
"/var/log/workstation1/messages" or "/var/log/messages_workstation1".
The log host is running slackware 8.1 with syslogd 1.4.1.

Thanks.
