You have to tell syslog to accept remote connections. edit the /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog file change SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0" to SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0". save it and do a "./syslog restart" (no quotes). _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
