Can tcpdump be redirected to syslogd so the output/log of tcpdump is sent to a syslog server on another machine?

Code:
tcpdump | logger


P.S. If you want both stdout and stderr to the log ...

Code:
tcpdump 2>&1 | logger

Ah didn't even know about logger. I'll try to install tcpdump and logger from Entware and give that a try.

Why would you need to install logger?

Code:
root@TL-WA901ND v2:~# which logger
/usr/bin/logger
