Hi John,
thanks very much for your replay!
As I told in my previous e-mail I'm trying to use a Linux machine as loghost for IBM AIX and SUN Solaris 7 machines.
In the AIX machine I tryed to launch the syslogd with this two examples of syslog.conf files:
(See attached file: syslog.conf.txt)(See attached file: syslog.conf)
The commad to invoke the syslog daemon is:
> nohup /usr/sbin/syslogd -d -f /<path>/syslog.conf

but the nohup.out file that contains the response tells me that the syslogd can't resolve " * " as all the priority names and no messages appear in /var/log of the Linux machine.
Take a look for example at this row:

  auth.debug;user.debug;daemon.none      @cdslog

where the cdslog is the name of the log host and ws2 (in the file syslog.conf) is the name of the IBM machine.
If I want to write the messages in a particular file in the log host ( example /var/log/messages) where should I have to specify this path (cause I thik that @cdslog isn't enough and I can't see where messages are written)?

If I think at  using the syslog-ng, the advantage is great or the syslogd is enough for my applications?


Thanks in advance

Best Regards
Franco
