Greetings!

Question for anyone who might be familiar with rsyslog-5.8.x

The setup:

server-a listens for forwarded messages using tcp
server-b forwards messages to server-a using tcp

server-a has a template:

$template FwdMsg, "/var/log/network/%FROMHOST%.log"

and logs accordingly:

*.* ?FwdMsg


SUCCESS: Messages sent from a server-b like so, will show up in 
/var/log/network/server-b on server-a:

logger -t test -p local0.notice test

FAIL: Messages sent from a server-b like so, get thrown on the floor by the 
receiving rsyslogd (user.notice is the default facility.level pair):

logger -t test -p user.notice test

I've tcpdumped to see the packets clearly show up, but rsyslog discards them 
since they do not show up in /var/log/network/server-b.  Can anyone explain 
this behaviour?

Thanks in advance for any light anyone might shed on this.

Andrew
