Re: syslog server- how to on Linux

[Daniel Heemann <daniel.heemann () blacksheep-tech com>]

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.

Regards
Daniel
