I have syslog-ng running, and it logs everything from the server it runs
on.  How can I test to make sure it logs from remote sources.  I'm kind
of new to syslog-ng.

My server listens to UDP 514, and allows it through the firewall.

I have 2 devices I really want to have log to it.  A Cisco Aironet 1100,
and a symantec firewall device we use on our back up connection.

How can I test to make sure syslog-ng is capturing what I'd like it to.
