Hello together,

I'm running a central syslog-ng server and about two dozens clients sending their logs to this server (all redhat). But on some clients syslog-ng doesn't catch the builtin syslog messages.

syslog-version: 1.6.0rc4 on all hosts

When I execute 'logger test' the message only reaches the local /var/log/all, but not the server. When I execute 'logger -u /dev/log test' the message reaches both destinations.

The two different commands you entered should be the same. Try strace-ing the logger command to find out what the difference is. -- Bazsi
