remote syslog without root

Hello.
Is it possible to send data to syslog on remote machine, but without
modyfing /etc/syslog.conf?
Just like I can send data from my application to local syslog, i want to
send it to remote one... without my client application, and without root.

Yes. You just need to make sure that the remote syslogd that you are
sending to is using the -r switch. You might also check out the -l or -s
switches if you use domains and just want to show hostname in logs.

The only remote syslogging I do is for my wireless AP (to check MAC
addresses associating with it). Although, I have used a Perl script
running as a daemon to log to local syslog (using Sys::Syslog module).
