Running "syslog -d" on both machines, and then "logger -p kern.info test" on the source machine, we see the packet is received by syslogd on the loghost, But it is never logged anywhere. This is despite the line in syslog.conf that says *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages However a message at kern.err _is_ properly logged on the loghost by this rule (presumably because it is trapped by the "*.notice" clause). Any clues? We'll do some more debugging in the morning and submit a PR once we have something more concrete. Greg.
