Tony, Thank you for the helpful info about the tcpdump and udp port. I checked and I do have syslog running on port 514: Port State Service 111/udp open sunrpc 514/udp open syslog I also have the router.log in /var/log and is owned by root with wheel group. Would this be preventing syslogd to log? I thought it would log as syslogd runs under root UID: root 115 0.0 0.1 928 732 ?? Ss 10:47AM 0:00.42 syslogd Hm. I am running out of ideas on this one. I don't understand what I could be missing. Any further ideas are well appriciated!
