What RH distribution are you using. The explanation I give will be for RH7.3.
First, you should read the man pages for syslogd and syslog.conf. It gives a decent explanation. To set the syslogd options upon system startup use /etc/sysconfig/syslog and set the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS variable. The /etc/syslog.conf file should be used to specify where facilities combined with priorites should log there information. e.g. /etc/syslog.conf entry kernel.* @myhost.com That entry logs all priority (debug, info, crit, etc.) kernel facility messages to the host myhost.com which also must run its syslogd daemon with the "-r" option in order to receive remote messages. Also, your syslogd facility may already be running with the "-r" option if you are sure you included it when starting syslogd. Your ps command output may be cut too short on your screen in which case you may use "ps auxwww|grep syslog" and that will let you see the entire command line. Thanks. --- "Chris W.
