I concur, it isn't simple. The following is untested but it appears that it should work from my reading of the manpage (unfortunately, although I do intend to use this setup sometime, I don't have time right now to test it). Append this to your /etc/syslog.conf and kill -HUP syslogd: +remotehost *.* /var/log/remotehost And then see if /var/log/remotehost gets filled. > it seems that i'm having other issues as well. >=20 > this is what i'm now running for syslogd: >=20 > syslogd -v -a x.x.x.x/11:syslog -a x.x.x.x/24:syslog That looks good. > when i do netstat -a, i see the following for syslogd: >=20 > ------------ > udp4 0 0 *.syslog *.* > ------------ >=20 > it's state is blank.

I guess it needs to be told specifically to log messages from the box. Try the above and let me know, it will be helpful for me as well :) BTW, for testing, check out logger(1) -- you can use it to send test messages to syslogd (and thus across the network). --Stijn --=20 Help Wanted: Telepath.
