(RADIATOR) Multiple Servers, centralised logging

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Dave -

The method you describe is not safe, and using NFS in this manner is always 
to be discouraged.

You can either use an SQL database for your logging (and user definitions as 
John Coy mentions in his email), or you can use Log SYSLOG to send logging to 
a SYSLOG host and then use your normal sysadmin tools there.
