Go into /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the `*.* /var/log/all.log` line.
touch /var/log/all.log and restart syslogd.
Now you can monitor all messages sent to syslogd.
BTW, if you only want 192.168.1.1 talking to your syslogd, you should use
"-a 192.168.1.1/32:514" otherwise the default netmask is /24.
