Hello,
I am configuring FreeBSD 3.2 syslog.conf to receive messages from a Cisco
router.
In the /etc/syslog.conf I am entering the following 2 lines:
local7.debug /var/log/cisco.out
local7.notice /var/log/cisco.out
I use tabs and do not use spaces as separators.
The file /var/log/cisco.out has permissions of 777.
The command:
kill -HUP 139
reads in changes made in /etc/syslog.conf. I have even killed syslogd and
restarted it by hand.
On the Cisco router, I have turned on logging with the following commands
logging on
logging trap debug
logging <IP address of FreeBSD hosts>
A show log command on the router indicates messages are sent to the FreeBSD
host, but no messages are logged in the file /var/log/cisco.out.
I have done this simple operation on Solaris 2.6 without any problems.
Can anyone help me with making this work?
Thanks,
Michael McKinnon
