I am new to syslog stuff but here is my problem. I have syslog-ng v1.5.21 running on a RedHat Linux server. I have a Mandrake 9 workstation running plain ole syslogd. The two boxes are talking to each other without a problem but when a message is sent to the syslog-ng box it will log the message once or twice but fails after that until syslog-ng and syslogd are restarted on both boxes. I am using this to log the status of an application on several boxes to this one server about 30 times an hour (yes it is huge overhead but is required for this application). I need help with this ASAP.
