Those might be different, but are you sure you don't need another special flag for syslogd to accept UDP logs from localhost ? Also, you might be able to test your syslog setup using netcat : # echo "<133> blah" | nc -u 127.0.0.1 514 (133 is 16*8 + 5 = local0.notice) You must get the log in the file with this. Otherwise it indicates an issue with your syslog configuration. Regards, Willy
