So is rsyslog originating the messages, or are you using it to aggregate them and then feed them on to the other [bad] acceptors? I am unaware of a way to get rsyslog to forge packets (short of writing an output module), but unless you must get another syslog daemon into the mix, you may be better off just feeding your messages directly to the other collector. _______________________________________________ rsyslog mailing list http://lists.adiscon.net/mailman/listinfo/rsyslog http://www.rsyslog.com
