Yesterday, I tried your recomendation to use rc.conf. Looked at the log file, still nothing. I added 'syslogd_flags="-a *.isot.com" to the rc.conf and used '/etc/rc.d/syslogd start' after killing the old syslogd process. I sure am getting frustrated as not getting any diag info from the routers. Maybe I need to put back my old radius box. ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through ISOT.
