https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/syslog-config-for-remote-logging/m-p/2499730#M20660 I've never seen the ifdef statement in docs about syslog.conf. The correct entry is:<BR /><BR />mail.debug @ somehost.domain.org<BR /><BR />Naturally, this host must be running syslogd. Test the ability of a remote host to accept and log entries with the logger command.

May I know what is the difference between the following 2 lines in /etc/syslog.conf :<BR /><BR />mail.debug ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)<BR /><BR />mail.debug @loghost<BR /><BR />If I want to have the log in my local syslog.log and the remote syslog server, what should I put in my syslog.conf?<BR /><BR />Thank you.
