I am new to syslog-ng. I used the following config file to test it out under Solaris. Then I used a pc application to generate udp message to port 514. I started the process using "syslog-ng -f filename". I can see log message in "messages" indicating the process started. However, when I send the simulated message from my PC app. It does not show up in the log file. I was reading some Linux syslog-ng document: an chapter from a book. It mentioned using the '-r' option to allow accepting remote message. I have syslog 1.6.1 and it does not have this option. Not sure if I missed anything?
