Ss 0:03.27 syslogd -n -vv -a 10.10.10.0/24 unless I force it to use the unix domain socket as suggested above. But that gave me an idea -- I forced logger to use PF_INET by specifying the -h option, and that doesn't work -- I even tried adding -a 127.0.0.1/32 to the syslogd command line hoping that that might make a difference: 41337 ?? Ss 0:00.01 syslogd -n -vv -a 10.10.10.0/24 -a 127.0.0.1/32 but that doesn't help either. The syslog host is 10.10.10.5 and I tried both: logger -h 10.10.10.5 -p 'crit' "this is a test" logger -h 127.0.0.1 -p 'crit' "this is a test" and neither worked. However it is receiving syslog messages from other hosts without a problem where I have it specified in their syslog.conf as: *.* @10.10.10.5 (I noticed that kern.debug and possibly kern.info messages don't get relayed, but that is another thread and I almost understand why that is but couldn't find it in the syslogd code) There is something screwy about the PF_INET stuff which neither logger nor Sys::Syslog like...and this is broken in regards to previous behaviour.
