Thanks for showing that... and for a moment there I was afraid I was the dope that had somehow deleted the important missing lines. So just to make sure I checked my distros' (gentoo) rsyslog.conf shipped for installation by the distro maintainer and sure enough they have: # ######### Receiving Messages from Remote Hosts ########## # TCP Syslog Server: # provides TCP syslog reception and GSS-API (if compiled to support it) #$ModLoad imtcp.so # load module # Note: as of now, you need to use the -t command line option to # enable TCP reception (e.g. -t514 to run a server at port 514/tcp) # This will change in later v3 releases. # UDP Syslog Server: #$ModLoad imudp.so # provides UDP syslog reception #$UDPServerRun 514 # start a UDP syslog server at standard port 514 When the original shipped with rsyslog pkg has the lines below as you've shown. # ######### Receiving Messages from Remote Hosts ########## # TCP Syslog Server: # provides TCP syslog reception and GSS-API (if compiled to support it) #$ModLoad imtcp.so # load module #$InputTCPServerRun 514 # start up TCP listener at port 514 # UDP Syslog Server: #$ModLoad imudp.so # provides UDP syslog reception #$UDPServerRun 514 # start a UDP syslog server at standard port 514 Apparently my distro has removed that one all important line. `#$InputTCPServerRun 514 # start up TCP listener at port 514' And yes, I will make sure to contact the package maintainer about it. Thanks for the heads up and I'm sure the maintainer will want to get that back in there too. > Also, I have added some text to the rsyslog cookbook for remote reception.
