I have a small LAN w/ a Raspberry Pi B+ as my time server & a FreeBSD
9.3Rp13 machine (this box, as it happens), among others. The FBSD box is
my daily driver, & I want to get the RPi to syslog messages to the FBSD
box for convenience, & possibly reduced write fatigue of the microSDHC
'HDD' on the RPi. I (think I) configured the RPi to log to the FreeBSD
box, named 'kabini1':
rpi # cat syslog.conf
# $NetBSD: syslog.conf,v 1.9 2004/07/23 03:45:42 mycroft Exp $

# files.

I also told the syslogd on kabini1 to accept log traffic from everything
on my LAN:
[root@kabini1, /etc, 10:31:19am] 462 % ps -aux | grep syslog
root 743 0.0 0.0 12096 1772 ?? Ss 14Apr15 0:03.63
/usr/sbin/syslogd -a 192.168.0.0/16 -C -T

root 66565 0.0 0.0 16336 2028 7 S+ 7:36AM 0:00.00 grep
syslog
You have new mail.
[root@kabini1, /etc, 7:36:09am] 463 % uname -a
FreeBSD kabini1.local 9.3-RELEASE-p13 FreeBSD 9.3-RELEASE-p13 #0: Tue

root@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
[root@kabini1, /etc, 7:47:19am] 464 %
So far after a day or 2, nothing appears from the RPi on kabini1,
including nothing in /var/log/security (possibly indicating firewall
impeding traffic). Almost certainly pilot error, any help appreciated
:-) .... TIA & have a good one.
