For remote logging to be enabled, syslog must be started with the '-r' (remote) option, I believe. Check /etc/default/syslog or the /etc/init.d/syslog scripts to make sure it's happening. Also refer to syslogd, syslog.conf, and klogd manpages. Also remember that syslog uses UDP sockets unless you're using something like syslog-ng. -- Chad Walstrom <chewie at wookimus.net> http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */
