I'm having a helluva time getting syslogd to log the syslog packets from a
cisco router.  Here's my setup:

in /etc/rc.conf:
syslogd_enable="YES"
syslogd_flags="-a 192.168.1.249"

in /etc/syslogd.conf:
*.* /var/log/messages

I'm receiving packets at the network interface and have made an ipfw rule
to allow them specifically (even on an OPEN firewall):
63000    188    18944 allow udp from 192.168.1.249 to any 514

My loghost has ip address of 192.168.1.200, so the above *should* work
according to the man pages.

I've even verified the ability to log to a linux laptop, but not to my
FreeBSD4.3-STABLE box.

Can anyone provide a clue as to why it's not logging?

Thanks,
Scott
