[syslog-ng]receiving external events

[Wang, Philip R.]

I am new to syslog-ng.  I used the following config file to test it out =
under Solaris.
Then I used a pc application to generate udp message to port 514.

I started the process using "syslog-ng -f filename".

I can see log message in "messages" indicating the process started.

However, when I send the simulated message from my PC app.  It does not =
show up in the log file.

I was reading some Linux syslog-ng document: an chapter from a book.  It =
mentioned using the '-r' option to allow accepting remote
message.  I have syslog 1.6.1 and it does not have this option.  Not =
sure if I missed anything?
