Hi,
In /etc/services ensure you have this line.
syslog 514/udp
Now all you have to do is on the cisco router side.
city-cisco(config)#logging x.x.x.x
where x.x.x.x is the HP-UX server ip address where you want to collect cisco log messages.
Now you can collect the cisco log messages in
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file.

hi,
also add the -r parameter to the startup parms, if syslog is running under linux

-PP

You might also want to look at syslog-ng. It's a syslogd replacement that handles forwarding quite nicely as well as tunneling over SSH if you're forwarding anywhere over the 'net. Homepage: http://www.balabit.hu/en/downloads/syslog-ng/
