Thanks for the workaround for putting the hosts in a File. Now the Second thing i would to capture all networks which sending their logs to the syslog server. So i would to lookup the Networkid and netmask (subnetmask) of the sending host. And they should again logged into a file. greets Philipp Durrer (PS: Sorry for my bad english) ___________________________________________________________ Gesendet von Yahoo!
