Hi

I in no way meant to sound condescending and apologize if it came across that way. It was interesting as I was trying to imagine situations in which that could happen to you, thus trying to help.

Thanks for your help - I wasn't offended at all! I want to experiment with syslog-ng's ability to log messages received on the UDP port. For now, I want to continue to use syslogd to log all other messages - so as not to disturb the system. Please could you or anyone else briefly explain how to make a simple .conf file to log UDP messages with syslog-ng? David Telecom MODUS is an ISO9001/TickIT approved Company.
