Hi,

Anyone know how to enable syslogd under DSL?  I wish to monitor UDP traffic from a remote server on port 514.

Many thanks

use the boot option "syslog", or start syslogd from /opt/bootlocal.sh.  It will log to /var/log/messages

Hi,

Thanks for that.  I have done that, and syslogd shows up in messages as starting.  However no log entries are appearing.  Netstat does not show it as listening either.

What is the 'syslog' file in /var/log ?  That is showing zero bytes.

Anything else I can check?

Cheers

I dunno what else to say, really.  I use the syslog boot option, and tail /var/log/messages...that's all.  I have to chmod /var/log/messages so i can see it as user dsl...don't know if that helps.

OK, thanks for that.  I am already tailing the log, and have sudo su so permissions should not be a problem.  

Sounds like it might be a port restriction/firewall type issue, as I can see the logs from a PC on that port.

Strange that netstat doesn't show syslogd running though.

cheers
