I have just installed syslog-ng and am logging to a mysql database. I am trying to implement a centralized syslog system. Everything is working well except for auth-priv facility. I cannot seem to get to them sent to the centralized database.
When l run test with logger on the remote computer get the following error logger: unknown facility name: auth-priv.
The name of the facility is authpriv, not auth-priv. Maybe you mistyped the facility.
however syslog on the remove computer has the entry # The authpriv file has restricted access. authpriv.* /var/log/secure and is logging to the secure file with no problems
when I add an entry for the remote compter to send the info authpriv.* @host.me.com
the logs do not show up. Can someone advise me on what to I can
Strange, this shouldn't happen. I suppose you reloaded/ restarted syslogd on the remote machine. Can you show the captured network traffic between the remote host and the host syslog-ng is running on? -- Sandor Geller wildy@balabit.hu
