syslogd

[Nobody's Hero]

syslogd man pages says.....

"If INET domain sockets are not configured,syslogd does not receive messages forwarded from other hosts, nor does it forward messages."


where do I configure an INET domain socket and/or how do I check to see if I have one configured?

look for port 514 in /etc/services file , This is for remote system logging. If it's not commented by # then that port is enabled , or try netstat -an | grep 514

Good luck

You need :

syslog 514/udp # remote system logging


In /etc/services - if not there, add it, then inetd -c

Yes, I see 514 enabled. I am still having a problem getting my cisco router and PIX to log to my syslog.log on my HPUX 11.0 box.

I started /usr/sbin/syslogd -D -f /etc/syslog.conf but I still don't see any messages from my router.

I tried a test from the router. I entered ""conf t" and the "end". It is supposed to send a message saying ""%SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by on vty0" but I dont see anything. Not sure what the problem is. Any help is appreciated.

There's some good documentation on:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/477/RME/rme_syslog.html

That might help...

Did you kill -HUP after configuration?
