Jerry,

Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be the problem. I think it's getting through IPFW fine, and I removed the -s from syslogd's options, but I still can't find any info on (configuring) remote logging, aside from -a which I'm already using.

I really don't know if it would work or not, but you could put an ipfw
divert rule and natd to redirect the syslog packets to localhost:514 or
similar.

Also, you'll need to remove the '-s' flag from syslogd.

Subject: 4.7-S: syslog from TiVo


 I've just networked my TiVo, and noticed that it tries to
 connect to 255.255.255.255:514/udp on restart. So naturally I'd like
 to capture this in syslog, to see what it has to tell me. I opened up
 the port in ipfw, and see a packet coming through, but after much
 head-banging on syslog.conf.5, and trial and error, I still can't get
 anything to showi up in the log file I created for this host, or
 messages or console.log. What am I missing??


 Thanks much,


 Chris Pepper
