Not the syslog directly, but the network connecction as a whole. Can you (for instance) do ftp, telnet, ssh or any other protocol to the destination host. Can you ping it?

Notice that - as there is a firewall in place - the firewall rules might have to be modified to allow that. My suggestion is to allow ssh-connection for testing purposes and, once this (and everything else) works, they can be removed again.

If ou use the best editor there is (i am talking about vi, of course) you can enter the command:

Code:

:set list

To display tab characters as ^I, so you will see the difference. Use

Code:

:set nolist

to switch that off again. Enter ":" in command mode (this is what you are in when you start it) to get to the colon-prompt.

I hope this helps.
