Thanks Ged, I didn't see that and I am not sure how those lines slipped in there. I piece-mealed this conf from an old logging server I was asked to replace. I didn't notice them before. I will re-do the conf using the example conf and see what happens then.
Is there a way I can duplicate the name schema the remote box is using
I don't know exactly what you mean by that, and I do't think I'd know the answer if I did. :)
What I mean is if I have two boxes I want to log to this syslog-ng server, one is an old Unix box that is logging *.info;mail.none locally to /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and the other is a RH Linux box that logs *.info;mail.none locally to /var/log/messages is there a way the remote syslog-ng server can be configured to write the *.info;mail.none for the Linux box to a messages file and for logs it receives from the Unix box to a syslog.log file? My guess is that I could but not with out a bunch of whacky rules that is dependent on each host. Nick
