Bart,
Yes, if both /mnt/kd/rc.conf and the series of files under /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/
both exist, the series of files under /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/ take precedence and
the /mnt/kd/rc.conf file is ignored.

Subject: Re: [Astlinux-users] Redirecting all AstLinux logs to an external
syslog server
Hi,
Brilliant!
I found the rc.conf file in /mnt/kd and added my syslog server:
## Remote Syslog Config
## The machine below will receive all logging messages from this machine via
## syslog's remote logging features.
SYSLOGHOST="192.168.1.10"
I tried it with, and without, quotes. Rebooting between attempts. But nothing
is reaching the syslog server.
Then I got your update, and edited the user.conf file via the GUI. It must be
the right one because the system says: File opened for editing:
/mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf
I added the line:
### user.conf - start ###
###
### Advanced Configuration: User System Variables
###
### Define variables here that are not otherwise set in the Network tab.
###
### Variables defined here will override any value set elsewhere.
###
###
SYSLOGHOST="192.168.1.10"
### user.conf - end ###
Then I restarted syslogd which all went without a hitch:
Nov 12 10:06:16 ASTERISK auth.info<http://auth.info> login[733]: root login on
'pts/0'
Nov 12 10:06:56 ASTERISK syslog.info<http://syslog.info> syslogd exiting
Nov 12 10:06:57 ASTERISK syslog.info<http://syslog.info> syslogd started:
BusyBox v1.19.4
Still nothing on the remote syslog server. So I tried a reboot (just to be
sure).
And then she kicked into life!
Thank you so much!!
Kind regards,
Bart.

Bart,
Just to be clear, add
SYSLOGHOST="10.1.2.3"
to your /mnt/kd/rc.conf.d/user.conf file.
service netsyslogd stop
gen-rc-conf
service netsyslogd init
