Most don't enable "remote reception" for syslogd by default. Check your /var/log/messages for the last time you restarted syslogd, and make sure it says something like "syslogd 1.3-3: restart (remote reception)." If it doesn't find the script that launches syslogd (on redhat its /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog) and edit it to add the -r command line option when syslogd is started, then stop and restart syslog. You probably also want to firewall port 514 udp used by syslog so that only the hosts you want sending to your server can. Otherwise any joe bloggs can send stuff to your syslog server :) (Which is the reason remote reception isnt enabled by default I suppose) Regards, Simon
