Yes, I'm running syslog-ng on both platforms.

I've attached the configuration files from the Linux box used to record logs, and from the Solaris box sending logs. I hope this helps.

Please keep in mind that I've only configured cron to send to the source s_tcp destination for testing. I've used the logger command "logger -p cron.crit TEST FROM JUB" to test things. Also, I'm new to syslogging (as I'm sure you can tell).

Thanks again, and have a great day!

Are you sure that the facility code for cron matches on Solaris and Linux? Try to create a bare bone configuration like: (solaris) source s_all { internal(); sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door"); }; destination d_tcp { tcp("1.2.3.4"); }; log { source(s_all); destination(d_tcp); }; (linux) source s_all { internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log"); tcp(); }; destination d_messages { file("/var/log/messages"); }; log { source(s_all); destination(d_messages); }; And as soon as it works, try playing with filters and the rest. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng
