Re: [CentOS] Send syslog to a remote server
One thing which I have not seen discussed yet -- the syslog.conf seems to work much better when you use tabs, not spaces, in it. So in your case it would be *.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none[tab][tab][t...@192.168.1.5 Don't know if rsyslog.conf has the same requirement. -- /\oo/\ / /()\ \ David Mackintosh | d...@xdroop.com | http://www.xdroop.com pgpDnXp7orddY.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Send syslog to a remote server
Hi, 1 .One is enough and the remoter server should be configured to accept the syslog. 2. double quotes are not required.
