<faq id="syslog-setup"
     title="I want fsl to forward to syslog. What is the minimum syslog configuration?">
    Prepare syslog.conf(5) and keep in mind it wants to see tabs not
    spaces, they are marked the output manually to make that clear.
	<pre>
        $ grep mail.info /etc/syslog.conf
        mail.info <b>TAB</b> /var/log/maillog
    </pre>

<faq id="syslog-debug"
     title="I want fsl to forward to syslog. How can i find out if syslog.conf(5) is correct?">
    <pre>
        $ logger -p mail.info "message"
        $ tail /var/log/maillog

<faq id="syslog-l2spec-local"
     title="I want fsl to forward to syslog. Which l2spec logs to syslogd locally?">
    <pre>
        $ echo "from l2, loc" \
        | fsl-l2tool 'syslog(facility=mail, ident=info, target="local")'
    </pre>
</faq>

<faq id="syslog-l2spec-remote"
     title="I want fsl to forward to syslog. Which l2spec logs to syslogd remotely?">
    Make sure syslogd accepts network connections, see it's -s option
    for syslogd(8) on FreeBSD, -r option for syslogd(8) on Linux or -t
    for syslogd(1M) on Solaris. Also note that the l2spec requires a
    certain order of the remotehost, remoteport an target
    keywords, see <a href="http://cvs.ossp.org/chngview?cn=3313">CVS</a>.
     <pre>
        $ echo "from l2, net" \
        | fsl-l2tool 'syslog(facility=mail, 
                             ident=info,
