Hi Everyone,


I have setup a syslog-ng server on sun solaris 9. I now would like to
log from a sun solaris box or a hp box on the network.
These boxes are setup to send messages to the server.=0D

When I do a snoop on port 514 on the syslog-ng server I see that these
boxes are sending messages but the server is not storing this info.
into
a file. The problem must lie with the syslog-ng.conf. I am able to log
from cisco pix firewalls without any problem. I assume that the
configuration must be=0D
Different for logging from hosts then. Does anyone have an idea?, if
so what should the configuration be for logging from these boxes.

Regards,
Conrad
