Greetings, I am trying to setup a log server using FreeBSD 4.5 Release. I editted the /etc/defaults/rc.conf file and changed the syslog options line to read: syslogd_flags="-4 -a 10.37.48.0/24" When I try to log stuff to the syslog server using kiwi syslog gen I get nothing in /var/log/messages. Here is my syslog.conf file ========================================================== titania# cat /etc/syslog.conf # $FreeBSD: src/etc/syslog.conf,v 1.13.2.2 2001/02/26 09:26:11 phk Exp $ # # Spaces are NOT valid field separators in this file. # Consult the syslog.conf(5) manpage. *.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console *.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages security.* /var/log/security mail.info /var/log/maillog lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs cron.* /var/log/cron *.err root *.notice;news.err root *.alert root *.emerg * # uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console to /var/log/console.log #console.info /var/log/console.log # uncomment this to enable logging of all log messages to /var/log/all.log #*.* /var/log/all.log # uncomment this to enable logging to a remote loghost named loghost #*.* @loghost # uncomment these if you're running inn # news.crit /var/log/news/news.crit # news.err /var/log/news/news.err # news.notice /var/log/news/news.notice !startslip *.* /var/log/slip.log !ppp *.* /var/log/ppp.log =============================================================== netstat -an gives the following about syslog: udp4 0 0 10.37.48.178.2317 10.37.48.6.53 ps -aux | grep syslog gives me: root 70 12.5 0.5 972 708 ?? Ss 1:58PM 0:48.30 /usr/sbin/syslogd -4 -a 10.37.48.0/24 Any ideas? Regards LK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
