The default was "-s", which I changed in rc.conf to "-a 10.0.0.0/24:*"; if I understood correctly, this would tell syslogd to accept any remote messages coming from my own subnet (the router is at 10.0.0.30). But nothing was accepted with that. I finally tried running syslogd with _no_ options, and now the messages are being accepted. I'd still like to know why the -a option doesn't seem to work. I don't like leaving syslogd open to every machine on the network (even though nothing actually gets past the firewall). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tony Landells" <ahl@austclear.com.au> To: "Anthony Atkielski" <anthony@freebie.atkielski.com> Cc: "FreeBSD Questions" <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 04:57 Subject: Re: Accepting syslog messages from a router > What is the actual command line for the running syslogd? > > If you also have "-s" (which is set by default in /etc/defaults/rc.conf) > then syslogd won't accept connections from other servers. > > If you don't have "-s", then try running syslogd with no options > to check whether you get anything, which will at least tell you > whether it's your command line or syslog.conf that needs fixing. > > Tony > -- > Tony Landells <ahl@austclear.com.au> > Senior Network Engineer Ph: +61 3 9677 9319 > Australian Clearing Services Pty Ltd Fax: +61 3 9677 9355 > Level 4, Rialto North Tower > 525 Collins Street > Melbourne VIC 3000 > Australia > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
