is the syslogd being launched with the -r flag on the cenralized syslog host? if you just run syslog, it doesn't open a listener port. you have to run "syslogd -r" if you want it to accept remote syslog messages.

I checked the loghost to see if packet's arriving at all: tcpdump -i fxp2 host 10.0.0.1 and after I cycled the power to Cisco 675 I get these on dump: 03:33:03.706985 10.0.0.1.514 > 192.168.1.3.514: udp 103 (DF) 03:33:03.707034 10.0.0.1.514 > 192.168.1.3.514: udp 123 (DF) 03:33:03.707065 10.0.0.1.514 > 192.168.1.3.514: udp 62 (DF) 03:33:03.732296 10.0.0.1.514 > 192.168.1.3.514: udp 58 (DF) 03:33:03.799392 10.0.0.1.514 > 192.168.1.3.514: udp 81 (DF) 03:33:04.084737 10.0.0.1.514 > 192.168.1.3.514: udp 68 (DF) so it's reaching the loghost. Doing ps -ax yields this about syslogd at the loghost: 1789 ?? Ss 0:00.01 syslogd -a 192.168.0.0 -a 10.0.0.1 -v -v I added temporary log config in syslog.conf to catch everything (*.*) in case my own ruleset is dropping messages. I checked that catch-all log file over and over during my experiment, but there aren't any messages logged that pertains to Cisco. And it's the same when I cycle the power through Cisco. Absolutely nothing is logged about it. (All regular activities are logged.) I'm scratching my head on this. Did I forget anything else? Has anyone gotten Cisco 675 syslog client to work with FreeBSD syslogd? ------------- clip here with virtual scissors -------------- ************************************************************ Keyboard stuck error.
