Copied & pasted it from my rc.conf, after I had typed the "syslog_", it is in fact "syslogd_enable" in my rc.conf. > Also, try starting it with "-d" -- debug mode, and do "ps ax | >grep syslog" to see which flags it really has. > After I put it into debug mode, I found the problem. If I just use just the host ipaddress then it doesn't work (ie -a 10.0.0.196). But if I use the netmask (ie -a 10.0.0.196/32, or -a 10.0.0.192/26) then messages are logged. I then tried the PM3, and found that I have to set the port to use (i.e. -a 10.0.0.206/32:\* or -a 10.0.0.206/32:1023) as the PM3 use a different port to send its syslog messages from to port 514 on the logging host.
