Sorry for answering so late. You were right guys about the firewall, on the Fedora server iptables was on, and as soon as I turned it off, everything worked great. Know i have to learn how to configure iptables, cause i don't want to leave it off. Anyone knows a good starting point for iptables?
And another thing that bothers me...why the hell does the cpu stays most of the time at 100% because of the syslog-ng process?

I have a dual core processor, and either CPU1 or CPU2 stays at 100% utilization...
This seems to be a bug, however I don't know anything similar in 2.0.
Can you please post your configuration file which shows this symptom? Do you get this right after you start syslog-ng? Is it always reproducible? Can you list the exact version you are using and the way you got it compiled? Is it a distribution package?
So as you may see, we're happy to help you, but we need more information.

I used shorewall to manage iptables of each and every servers i have, I used the example config for single interface and modify it on my preferences. ____________________________________________________________________________ __ Member info: https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Documentation: http://www.balabit.com/support/documentation/?product=syslog-ng FAQ: http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
