Hi,

UDP is connectionless, so the client has no way of knowing if the
connection succeeded or not.  If you put in port 515 I suspect you'd
get the same result from your 'nc' attempt.

Is syslogd on the host running with '-s'?  If so, that'll stop it
from accepting any remote log events.

Regards,

Gary
