hi there syslog gurus..

Is the configuration below enough for me to log some of my routers ?
157.0.1.1 is my syslog server and im suppose to get logs frm a few
routers. I have added appropriate logging commands on the routers to
log to the syslog server but i don't see anything. syslog-ng is
started and listening on both udp/tcp . Im running on freebsd

--start--
## syslog-ng


source remote {
unix-stream("/var/run/log"); internal(); pipe("/dev/klog");
udp(ip(157.0.1.1) port(514));
tcp(ip(157.0.1.1) port(514) keep-alive(yes));
};

destination std {
file("/var/log/hosts/$HOST/$YEAR/$MONTH/$DAY/$FACILITY"
owner(root) group(root)
perm(0644) dir_perm(0755) create_dirs(yes));
};

log {
source(remote);
destination(std);
};

destination authlog { file("/var/log/auth.log"); };
destination cron { file("/var/log/cron.log"); };
destination debug { file("/var/log/debug.log"); };
destination kern { file("/var/log/kern.log"); };
destination user { file("/var/log/userlog"); };
destination maillog { file("/var/log/maillog"); };
destination security { file("/var/log/security"); };
destination messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };

--end--

any hints or help is much appreciated.

thanks
fico
