I am just getting my feet wet on some of the concepts in honeypots and 
intrusion detection. I was wondering if someone can point me in the 
direction of additional information on setting up logging. I am not 
understanding how a logging server can be available to copy logs to 
(via syslogd or some third party Windows tool) and yet not be 
vulnerable once the honeypot is compromised.

It's like protecting yourself against mobsters by sending a copy of the
incriminating evidence to somebody with instructions to go to the police
if they don't hear from you.

That make it clearer?
