Dear list, I'm trying to set up an AIX-machine as a loghost by using syslog-ng but I can't get syslog-ng working, so I would be very thankful if you could give me some hints. After downloading, compiling and installing libol and syslog-ng on the AIX-machine that should be used as a loghost I wrote the following syslog-ng.conf file in the /etc/syslog-ng direcoty: source src { unix-dgram("/dev/log"); tcp(ip(1.5.19.253) port(514)); udp(ip(1.5.19.253) port(514)); internal(); }; destination test { file("/var/adm/log/test-ng.log"); }; log { source(src); destination(test); }; }; the client machine (also AIX, internal ip-adress 1.5.19.253 ) is running the standard syslogd, in the /etc/syslog.conf is the line: local2.info @dmz-loghost and the /etc/hosts contains the line 1.34.20.20 dmz-loghost sending a log-message with logger -plocal2.info with standard syslog to the loghost works fine (so port 514 should be open) but the file specified in syslog-ng.conf does not contain anything. I really would appreciate if you could give me some hints what I did wrong, Christian Sippel
