For example, in rsyslog; http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/property_replacer.html If you are using the LOG target, there is nothing to do except patcking kernel. If you are using ULOG or NFLOG, you can patch ulogd ou ulogd2 to forget about the MAC part. It should be easy. BR, -- Eric Leblond Blog: http://home.regit.org/
