Add the '-r' option to the startup of syslog (check /etc/init.d/sysklogd - at least in debian)
aah, that bit I know, but the rest seems to depend on an exact combination of putting your right foot on your left shoulder, little finger in......., etc, etc, and perusing the doco just isn't clear.
I just didn't see anything from the remote boxen in this case. Everyone responses seems to indicate it should be that simple, which is worrying when it doesn't just work.
BTW Debian Woody.
Server:
/usr/sbin/syslogd -u (or -r? only got a bsd box to check on) on the server, and check that your letting port 514 - UDP in?
You should also have a debug option for syslogd (-d), which should print all debugging to console, amd not background it.
Client:
/etc/syslod.conf: Change the log 'handle' from '/var/log/logfile' to '@remote_host'
(and check 514 udp outwards)
