thanks bakunin for very detail
I am a newbie in AIX and really appreciate for all help.
Getting back to my query and bakunin's suggestion, I have tried to stop and start the syslogd service after making change of syslog.conf file (using
stopsrc -s syslogd and then
startsrc -s syslogd. I am not quite sure about
refresh -s syslogd as I have seen some posts about this command sometimes may get naughty and do not refresh the conf file at all
)
i will double check the firewall configuration and the syslogd service status tomorrow and get back to you the result after that.
Thank you for your help in advance.
regards,
Michael
