Hi, syslog-ng takes logs from anything; it doesn't care. Irix, solaris, bsd, cisco, hp, 3com, whatever. If it spits out a message, that's all that matters. You probably have something configured incorrectly in syslog-ng; what's your sysylog-ng.conf file look like? Do you have the appropriate source lines?

I've set up a server with syslog-ng. It works find for local messages.
On another server I'm running the syslogd that came with the system (Solaris).
I've tried to set up the old syslogd server to forward messages to the syslog-ng server. However, I can not get it to work.
For instance, I have under the old syslog.conf:
user.notice @log.globix.net
In debug mode it shows:
writemsg(6): Logging msg 'Jan 29 14:26:27 ylau: hi there' to FORW log.globix.net
However, when I truss syslog-ng with -dv options, it doesn't receive anything.
I'd rather not have to install syslog-ng on all the servers.
