Hi, I'm running into a problem configuring my syslogd in order to accept messages from Routers (Cisco). Here's what I did in my syslog.conf: local7.* /var/log/cisco-syslog Fields are separated by tabs of course In /etc/rc.conf I've got the following: syslogd_flags="-a 192.168.0.0/16" matching my local network. Unfortunately I don't see anything in my syslog from the router(s). I fired up tcpdump and sure enough the syslog-packets originating from the router hit my machine. To further track this down I changed the above line in syslog.conf to read +myrouter local7.* /var/log/cisco-syslog +* Again, no syslog messages. Next try: /etc/syslog.conf: local7.* /var/log/debug.log Again, no entry in the log Sure enough I restared syslogd between every test; also I have the fields in syslog.conf separted by tabs and the log-files in questions are existent with and chmod-ed 600. Any ideas what could be wrong here - or put in another way - has anybody out there got logging from Ciscos towards a FreeBSD box running? TIA for your help! -ewald
