Is there a link that you could forward that would explain how to do this? I'm a newbie to Linux and Syslog-ng. Thanks for everyone's assistance with this. -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-admin@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-admin@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Nate Campi Sent: Tuesday, October 26, 2004 8:00 PM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: Re: [syslog-ng]bind_inet_socket() error Right, packet filter and/or compile with TCP wrappers for access control, syslog-ng itself won't do that for you.

OK, I see what you mean.

What is the syntax for setting up a source that is an IP address that is not local? I'm trying to set up a centralized logging server and would like for it to receive logging from other servers, but I would like to be able to specify the IP addresses that it will accept input from.

Thanks!

Response to a) shows: # ifconfig -a | grep 172 inet 172.16.100.202 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.16.100.255

but you are trying to bind to 172.16.65.61, which is not local. (your local IP is .202)

(for TCP sources you are specifying the bind IP and not the IP address you want to receive messages from)
