I was getting this error when booting a thin terminal on my LTSP server:
syslogd: cannot write to remote file handle on 192.168.1.1:514
Searching the archives made it apparent that syslog wasn't accepting
connections from remote machines. It took a bit more searching to find
out exactly how to configure it to do so and no single post that I found
indicated both files that needed to be revised and exactly how to revise
them. After some experimentation here is what worked for me.
In order to get syslog to accept remote connections (on RedHat 8.0) I
had to add the -r option to two files.
* /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog
Added the -r option to the following line so that it now reads like
so: SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r"
* /etc/sysconfig/syslog
Added the following line: SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r"
Saved files and at the command line issued these commands:
* service syslog stop
* service syslog start
syslog started OK and now accepts remote connections from the thin
terminal.
