Yep. Very easily, although it does require that the syslogd daemon be
started with an additional command added to the string.

Step #1) on your pm25, 'set loghost <ip.of.linux.box>'
Step #2) on the linux box, 'syslogd -r' (to enable remote logging)

Yer done!

The linux box will now log everything the portmaster sends it, to syslog.
