Setting up a SysLog server for PIX

I need to setup a syslog server for a PIX.

Is it as easy as setting up a Linux box with syslog and adding it's IP address to the PIX config?

Or do I need a specific flavor of Linux and/or specific version of Syslog?

Thanks

I believe that any syslog server will be fine.

Note that some versions of Linux (and Solaris; possibly some others) require that you configure the IP address of the PIX into the syslogd configuration, so that the syslogd will pay attention to the packets.

This is more or less a security feature, to prevent people from sending you bogus syslog packets (which, after all, have no authentication information.)
