syslogd [syslog.conf] forwarding

Beannie — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 13:53:49 GMT

Have done this before but cannot get it setup on another server. Currently have 2 itanium servers (UX 11.23) writing their syslog.log to the syslog.log on an HP L2000 server (UX11.11) and it is working fine (has been for a long time). Trying to move things around a bit and set it up for the system logs to write to one of my existing itanium servers and can't get it to work. Have edited the syslog.conf on each system, verified /etc/hosts files, restarted the syslogd. Finally set it back up the old way and it works like a charm. I'm stumped. Thanks for any help.

ps -ef|grep syslogd

if -N option is listed then syslog is not listening to socket, this is the default.

edit /etc/rc.config.d/syslogd and remove -N from the OPTS= line.

Thanks Tim, that was the ticket (removing the -N from the OPTS= line). Thanks a bunch!
