Hi,

I am currently moving our RT instance from 3.4 on a Solaris 9 machine to 3.6 on a Solaris 10 machine and have run into a problem with the system logging.

For security reasons, our IT guys turn off the default UDP port 514. When I asked why, they gave me the following:

"Our builds all turn off the remote syslog port 514. It is generally considered
a security risk. Some bad person could fill up your disk with bogus
messages.  Local apps should use syslog(3c) or logger(1) to write
to syslog."

Is there a way to convince RT to use logger or syslog(3c) or simply to write all log output to its own log file instead? This is causing RT to fail miserably.

Thanks

Richard
