Do you have any other idea(s)? are you running some kind of firewall, like ipfilter or ipfw? No, I'm not. If so, did you open Port 514/UDP? What happens, if you change this line in /etc/syslog.conf local2 /var/log/router/zyxel to local2.*/var/log/router/zyxel and restart? It is actually local2.*, it was a typo in my original post, sorry.

If it was started from /etc/rc.conf without modifying the flags for syslogd, it won't work. The default-flag for syslogd is syslogd_flags="-s" From the man-page: -s Operate in secure mode. Do not log messages from remote machines. If specified twice, no network socket will be opened at all, which also disables logging to remote machines. You have to disable this option and restart syslogd. Thanks, yes, I was.
