Shalom,

This requires port 514 be openned in tcp mode.

It would be helpful to see your /etc/syslog.conf file to see what you have tried.

As far as I know there is no difference doing this with HP-UX. The most common cause of failure is that port 514 is closed.

Hi Steven,

I just append the following line to /etc/syslog.conf

*.* @slsvr.domainname
