Im working on a plan to monitor all remote locations on a vpn. Its kinda silly I guess but id like to make it work.

What I had in mind was putting one of the free firewalls on each location and log everything but block nothing. Their all behind firebox sohos so blocking or being the latest and greatest isn’t an issue. configure logging to send syslog messages to a syslogd in my office. Their I can querry the log in a number of ways. I now have the sohos set up to do this which is really rather pointless but I get bored and come up with these hairbrain ideas

I have an old version of tiny which would work great for this, set it up on one computer the way I want then copy the ini to all.

Id like to get some feedback on this if I could. Maybe someone has a better idea. if it works and i can present useful reports i can then convince them they need to buy the newest software to avoid the boy scouts of america's wrath (BSA) and if not well i had fun.
