Im able to get one router to log to my Freebsd box..however i have 6 or routers that i want to log to Freebsd as well...any thoughts ??i have the followingin my /etc/syslog.conf local7.* /usr/log/cisco/roch-ubr-syslog.log and identical lines pointing to differrent files for each router . and i have this in my /etc/rc.conf syslogd_flags="-4 -a xx.xx.xx.xx/24:55741 -a xx.xx.xx.xx/24:53936" however i cant get 2 or more routers to log to syslog only one will log. is ther a differrent way to getting syslogd to listen to multiple UDP packets from differrent routers.. I know it can be done ..but im unsure on how ?? any and all help IS VERY appreciated thanx Brent > Hey Brent, > > Here's what I have for part of my syslog.conf > local1.warning > /var/log/sqa/TonyWarning local1.crit > /var/log/sqa/TonyCritical > > I am logging to local1 crit and warning messages to files TonyCritical > and TonyWarning level messages respectively. > The one thing is you must have those files and path already there to > write to > > also go to /etc/defaults/rc.conf and edit syslogd there. > I have in mine: > > ### Network daemon (miscellaneous) ### > syslogd_enable="YES" # Run syslog daemon (or NO). > syslogd_program="/usr/sbin/syslogd" # path to syslogd, if you want a > different one. > # syslogd_flags="s" # Flags to syslogd (if enabled). > > You should also be able to place this in your regular /etc/rc.conf. > > Let me know how you make out. > I can research the Cisco side too if you want but I have confidence you > got that right. > > -Dom > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Brent Bailey" <misterb@bmyster.com> > To: <misterb@bmyster.com> > Cc: <neuhauser@bellavista.cz>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> > Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 8:20 AM > Subject: Re: getting my router to log to my Freebsd box help ? > > >> That didnt seem to work ..
