Well, it was a good try...
However, the -r has been on all along to allow logging the syslog output
of the MAX6000. Since I work with RedHat a lot (and with routers or
other devices near it) I was well aware of the -r switch.
I also use ipchains (ip firewall filtering) in the server. I do permit
ALL traffic from the loopback address (which is, I assume, what the
Syslog libary would be using) and syslog specifically from the MAX 6000.
I will turn on an explicit filter to allow syslog from the local IP
address, too, just to be sure.
