Hello, I’m
Chindu Kuruvilla working as Computer Support Specialist working with College of
the North Atlantic – I was setting up a syslog server for managing our Cisco
devices & I am a novice user @ Linux & this is my first time setting up
a debian. But I’m sure I’ve read the proper manuals for
installation. Most forums & documents recommend using a Linux box is
best for setting up a syslog since it has the syslog daemon built-in. I decided
to use the most recent release(4.0 r0 “Etech”) & I could not
setup the syslogd process as the contents of the sysklogd does not correspond
with what is given in the forums. The sysklogd.conf is supposed to contain the term (SYSLOG=”
“) which needs to be converted to (SYSLOG=”r –m0”)
since that command sets syslog to listen remotely & put marks. Now the sysklog.conf does not contain the above term & I
put the term manually in the file & saved it. But after I restarted the
daemon, I did a netstat & the system does not listen for remote notifications
(udp 514). Please suggest a solution or let me know if you need any
other info as I need this setup as soon as possible. I’m going to try the
same with 3.1 r5 “Sarge” & see if it’s going to work. I’ll
let you know if it works/doesn’t work. Thanks for your support! Regards, Chindu
