I can't install samba in a linux server which acts as a firewall for 15 networks. Why doesn't it allow to simply point to the log directory and let me use whatever I want (nfs/sshfs/...)?
You're pointing from a windows system, right? Because Windows has never heard of nfs/sshfs/... If you want to run one of those, you'll have to find a Windows add-on. Although I've never tried it, I'm sure that if the proper file system is mounted, FAHWatch will process the data it finds.

Really sure? Because there is only a box with the PC it finds in my SMB workgroup...
The server is in a completely different network, so it will not find it even using samba.

Then it can't monitor that machine directly and you'll have to figure out an indirect method that works for you. Emailing yourself the applicable files might work though they wouldn't always be up-to-date.

It seems I will have to write my own monitor, a daily mail with some log parsing triggered by cron should be enough.
Hopefully when V7 gets released there will be better alternatives.

V7 can talk to remote clients through a telnet-like connection. You'll have to determine whether that fits your security model or not.
V7 does not keep a per-WU database, nor does it copy remote logs to the local machine. Software to do that can be developed by 3rd parties, including possibly yourself.

It doesn't, but if tunneled through ssh it should be fine.
