You will almost certainly be running 'syslog', but by default this 
will be configured to only accept input from the local machine. You 
can change this, but it isn't very flexible in controlling what it 
accepts - as in you can either accept remote syslog or not. You can 
of course use a firewall to control access by ip address.

Some people replace syslog with syslog-ng which is far more flexible, 
but I haven't used it so I can't comment.
