Hi Dale,

For the best control of log message, I'd recommend using syslog.  The
default log format includes time information, but using syslog will allow
you to alter the format to suit your needs.

With syslog-ng, you can do things like:

file("/var/log/remote/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/activity.log",
    template("$YEAR-$MONTH-$DAY $HOUR:$MIN:$SEC $HOST $MSG\n")

Hope this helps,

-b
