12.5The SYSLOG module
The SYSLOG module gives the option of recording accesses to the BAT. 
This function is of particular interest to system administrators, because it al-
lows a full history of all activities to be kept.
To be able to receive the SYSLOG messages, you will need an appropriate 
SYSLOG client or daemon. In UNIX/Linux the SYSLOG daemon, which is in-
stalled by default, generally does the recording. It reports either directly 
through the console or writes the protocol to a SYSLOG file. 
In Linux the file 
/etc/syslog.conf
 directs which facilities (this expression will be 
explained later) should be written to which log file. Check in the configuration 
of the daemon whether network connections are explicitly monitored.
Windows does not have any corresponding system functions. You will need 
special software that fulfills the function of a SYSLOG daemon.
