hello, i'm having problems using syslogd's network feature.  it appears
that it receives and logs messages from other machines properly, but it
refuses to generate the packets.  i have the following line in
syslog.conf on illusion.unixfreak.org:

local5.*		@shift.unixfreak.org

however, when i do `logger -p local5.notice test1` the message does not
appear on shift.  when i manually connect to udp port 514 (syslog) on
shift the message i type gets logged just fine.  this is also true in the
reverse - shift wont send messages to illusion.

syslogd is started as `syslogd -l /etc/bind.root/dev/log` on both
machines.

what am i missing?  any ideas?

thanks in advance,
	--dima
