Hi, if you want to enable syslogd listening on the network you have to start it with the '-r' commandline switch - now you only have to find where to specify this option (perhaps init script in /etc/init.d or similar) - I think the suse mailing list should know about it.

I'm hoping I don't generate flames because this is somewhat off-topic but I have been googling for a while and I'm not getting the answer I'm looking for. I need information on how I view or set up syslog on a Linux platform (specifically SuSE 8.1) I am BRAND new to Linux and purchased SuSE to force myself to learn. My first project is to set it up as a syslog security server. Yes - I have also done man syslog. I am familiar with syslog servers (Kiwi) in the windows environment. What is the method to viewing logs on Linux? Typing syslogd at the command line tells me that syslogd is already running but I don't see it listening as a service when I type netstat -an. Any help is appreciated... a direction for information if you just think I'm an idiot is fine too. thanks N _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.
