Very good. :)

Why syslog-ng?  I thought rsyslog was more flexible than syslog-ng?

Why do you need to change the clients?  As far as I can see, the
default on the clients are to forward all syslog messages (see
/usr/share/debian-edu-config/rsyslog-client), so all pam_unix auth
messages should already be forwarded.

If the server is configured to store these messages, that could be
done with rsyslog too.  If a simple rule to store all auth messages is
not enough, you could filter the messages through a program to pick
the ones you want, using a ^/path/to/program destination.

Happy hacking,
