I want to let my Airport Express send its logs to my FreeBSD server. So I said to my Airport to send its logs to the internal ip of my server, I suppose it works because that's what Apple hardware does. Now I did the following things on my bsdbox: I appended to syslog.conf: # Log remote Airport Express +airport *.* /var/log/airport.log !* I touched /var/log/airport.log and it has rw-r----- root:wheel rights And to rc.conf I added: syslogd_enable="YES" syslogd_flags="-b myhostname.intranet -a *.intranet" I restarted syslogd via: # /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart I suppose it should work, but nothing appears in /var/log/airport and there should be something that it listens for input or not? Also I checked netstat -a | grep syslog udp4 0 0 myhostname.intranet..syslo *.* So it looks like it is not listening. Anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong? --Guido www.rottnic.nl
