Dear people. Using FreeBSD 4.7R, I was experimenting a bit with my router's syslog facility (on port 514). I set up syslogd like this: /usr/sbin/syslogd -a 192.168.1.1:514 Assuming this would allow incoming UPD on port 514 for the 192.168.1.1 router address. Alas, nothing is logged in /var/log/messages. I did a tcpdump, and get entries like this: 22:33:14.447792 my.router.syslog > asarian-host.net.syslog: udp 90 22:33:14.744037 my.router.syslog > asarian-host.net.syslog: udp 86 Am I missing something? Do I need to start syslogd differently? (btw, I flushed the firewall rules for the occasion, as this is a vmware test-machine anyway). Any suggestion will be highly appreciated? - Mark
