More Detailed logging please

Having never really played around with syslog before, as well as not knowing exactly what you're trying do (i.e. use the ReadyNAS to be the main syslog server or have the logs forwarded to a syslog server).

I did a quick search of the repositories and found this:

nas-01-4C-1B:~# apt-cache show sysklogd

 version of the standard Berkeley utility program. It is responsible
 for providing logging of messages received from programs and facilities
 on the local host as well as from remote hosts.

So, it appears as though sysklogd is installed, but I don't know if this will do what you're looking for. There's also an uninstalled package called 'syslog-ng' in the repos:

nas-01-4C-1B:~# apt-cache show syslog-ng
Package: syslog-ng

Description: Next generation logging daemon
 Syslog-ng tries to fill the gaps original syslogd's were lacking:
   * powerful configurability
   * filtering based on message content
   * portability
   * better network forwarding

Again, I don't know if any of this helps you, but perhaps it might be useful.
