Hi, i've got a firewallbox (router.superhero.nl, 2 nics) which keeps my internet connection up and running. On the machine itself i enabled forwarding of messages to my FreeBsd 4.4 box. On this machine i get no errors. the command i used is: syslogd -R 192.168.163.25 -O /dev/null This worked with Kiwi Enterprise logs, however since i lately installed an FreeBSD machine i want to use the build in capabilities of this server. On 192.168.163.25 box i changed the syslog.conf and added the following lines at the end of the file +router.superhero.nl *.* /var/log/router +192.168.254.100 *.* /var/log/router i killed the syslog daemon and started it manually by syslogd -a 192.168.254.0/24 No errors are displayed on the screen. The firewallbox doesnt complain either. However i cannot log messages from these machine to /var/log/router, and yeah, the file has been touched. Am i doing something wrong ? If anyone could shed a light on this, i would be thankful With friendly regards, Patrick Gelsema To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
