Are you using syslogd or rsyslogd? For syslogd, you add "-r' to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
For rsyslogd you need to uncomment the following lines in rsyslogd.conf
and add list of permitted hosts e.g.
You also need to open up any firewall that is in place on the log server for 514/UDP.
Hi all
I have a RedHat Linux AS2.1 server that keep crashing/rebooting and there are no messages in the /var/log/messages file pointing to any problems.

So if you have a Solaris... (5 Replies)

SYSLOG(8) System Logging SYSLOG(8)NAME
syslog-ng, syslogd
DESCRIPTION
There are different syslog daemon implementations supported as the system's syslog service, currently syslogd, syslog-ng and rsyslogd
The first installed daemon activates itself for the syslog service. Starting with openSUSE-11.2, it is rsyslogd, before it was syslog-ng.
But this depends on the software selection during the installation.
The name of the daemon used as syslog service is specified in the
SYSLOG_DAEMON variable in /etc/sysconfig/syslog.
The yast2 sysconfig module provides a comfortable way to switch to another installed daemon and restart the service.
The /etc/init.d/syslog init script is able to handle all supported daemons.
