You must use the "-r" switch for "remote" logging i.e. syslogd -r Syslog usually listens on 514/udp. On client machines you must set your syslog.conf to log to a remote server with an entry like *.* @server.ip.address. On Fri, 2002-12-13 at 20:34, netsec novice wrote:
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.
