I agree too. Having a registered port is enough. logservers are usually dedicated boxes anyway, so the chances of a collision is low. Also, the logserver process starts early in the boot process, so clients running on the same box will most probably find the port already taken. PS: any chance the port allocation can happen in a few weeks? we're about to release a syslog-ng version that supports syslog-protocol and I would like to use the final port right from the start instead of having to change it later. -- Bazsi _______________________________________________ Syslog mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/syslog
