how did you start syslogd? If it was started from /etc/rc.conf
without modifying the flags for syslogd, it won't work.
The default-flag for syslogd is
syslogd_flags="-s"
>From the man-page:
-s Operate in secure mode. Do not log messages from remote
machines. If specified twice, no network socket will be opened
at all, which also disables logging to remote machines.
You have to disable this option and restart syslogd.
Ciao,
-Martin.
