Do you mean you are running BOTH syslog-ng and syslogd ?
I tried the logger and it worked from my server. I just removed
syslog-ng and reinstalled syslogd...for some reason it wouldn't log
anything anymore, although my syslog-conf looks fine I think.

The address I used is the one from the nic which is connected to the lan.
I'm sorry this is taking so long, but it just seems to fail somewhere,
and although i've read the syslog-ng manual, I can't find the problem...
