Hi,

i've got a firewallbox (router.superhero.nl, 2 nics) which keeps my internet
connection up and running. On the machine itself i enabled forwarding of
messages to my FreeBsd 4.4 box. On this machine i get no errors.

the command i used is: syslogd -R 192.168.163.25 -O /dev/null

This worked with Kiwi Enterprise logs, however since i lately installed an
FreeBSD machine i want to use the build in capabilities of this server.

On 192.168.163.25 box i changed the syslog.conf and added the following
lines at the end of the file

+router.superhero.nl
*.*                        /var/log/router
+192.168.254.100
*.*                        /var/log/router


i killed the syslog daemon and started it manually by

syslogd -a 192.168.254.0/24

No errors are displayed on the screen. The firewallbox doesnt complain
either. However i cannot log messages from these machine to /var/log/router,
and yeah, the file has been touched.

Am i doing something wrong ?

If anyone could shed a light on this, i would be thankful

With friendly regards,

Patrick Gelsema
