Well, I don't know about 678's, but I have it working great on three
675's. The main important trick is that syslogd on the destination box
has to be started with the -r (remote?) flag, otherwise it won't listen on
udp/514, which is where the Cisco is attempting to send data to (at least,
by default). As far as I know, most syslogd's aren't set -r
out-of-the-box, so you have to make this change.
As for syslog.conf, I didn't have a problem with the original
configuration.
Hope this helps.
