It does, I've fished through my system logs when seeing what Synchronet was up
to. :)

For those running a syslog server, remote logging would be useful.  I did
consider seeing if it was possible at one stage, when I was trying to maximise
SD card life, but opted for using a SSD for the BBS and keeping the SD card for
the OS only, which is written to less frequently.  I've also got the system
logs on the SSD.
