Full Discussion: write syslog to windows share
Operating Systems AIX write syslog to windows share Post 302078111 by alexop on Wednesday 28th of June 2006 05:37:02 AM

Possibly a permissions issue... Some daemons don't like it when files don't have specific permissions (rsh, for example). Try and mount the windows share so it (and all the files within) have exactly the same owner, group and perms as your local syslog logs. This is just a guess I'm afraid....

Another suggestion, and a more robust solution, would be to set up local syslog to log to a remote syslog server. You can get these for windows (check google or freshmeat.net). With your setup if the Windows host goes down then syslog will likely crap itself, you'll lose your logs for the period of the outage at best. With a remote syslog daemon handling the logging it's all more graceful.

mount.nfs

MOUNT.NFS(8)                                                  System Manager's Manual                                                 MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME

       mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System

SYNOPSIS

       mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]

DESCRIPTION

       mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.

       mount.nfs  is  meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone
       command with limited functionality.

       remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share.  dir is the directory on which the file system  is  to  be
       mounted.

       Under  Linux  2.6.32  and  later  kernel  versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions.  Under earlier Linux kernel versions,
       mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2.

OPTIONS

       -r     Mount file system readonly.

       -v     Be verbose.

       -V     Print version.

       -w     Mount file system read-write.

       -f     Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.

       -n     Do not update /etc/mtab.  By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making
              an entry.

       -s     Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.

       -h     Print help message.

       nfsoptions
              Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages.

NOTE

       For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages.

FILES

       /etc/fstab        file system table
