Make sure you start syslogd with the -r switch, which is not specified by default. This allows the daemon to accept network connections. In GBAdmin, under the "Remote Logging" section, there are three different facilities, one for filter, one for NAT, and one for WWW. You probably want to make sure that the facilities you choose here aren't being used already, or you'll have messages from multiple sources in the same logfile. I use local4 for filter, local5 for NAT, and local6 for WWW. Then, in /etc/syslog.conf, I have the following entries: local4.* /var/log/gnatbox/filter local5.* /var/log/gnatbox/nat local6.* /var/log/gnatbox/www This directs all the filter messages to the file /var/log/gnatbox/filter, all the NAT messages to the file /var/log/gnatbox/nat, and all the WWW messages to the file /var/log/gnatbox/www. Also, to catch messages from the email proxy, I specify: local0.* /var/log/gnatbox/email ...since GNATBox logs the email proxy messages to local0, despite any settings in the "Remote Logging" section. -- Alex Howansky Wankwood Associates http://www.wankwood.com/
