Hello, all:
I would like to humbly suggest that Epylog be included into Fedora Core
-- not in the current test, of course, but some time in the future.
What it is:
Epylog is a syslog parser which runs periodically, looks at your logs,
processes some of the entries in order to present them in a more
comprehensible format, and then mails you the output. It is written
specifically for large network clusters where a lot of machines (around
50 and upwards) log to the same loghost using syslog or syslog-ng. It is
an alternative to a similar package called LogWatch.

I think one of the suggestions for packages not already in core is that
they need to do 'time' and be vetted in at least one release cycle in
fedora extras. This is a place where packages can be pruned or cleaned
or debugged - much like gnome fifth toe.
Does that sound like a good, workable, preliminary policy?
