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
