Dear Experts, I decided to climb out of cave and set up remote log server. I followed handbook to configure syslogd for that. All is trivial (spare disabling -ss and replacing it with -s flag, as the first prevents opening network sockets). But although all works like a charm, logs from remote client not only go to designated for them place, but also are going to respective log files of machine I use as log server. And the last makes a mess. I wonder if someone can think of some trivial mistake I am making. The only mistake I can think of is mixing two things, namely, I should have left syslog alone to do what it does, and use separate daemon (e.g. rsyslog) to run as remote log server. That mistake I happily admit, and am pursuing this better avenue. But I'm still curios what obvious mistake I might have made with syslogd. Thanks for your insights!
