[syslog-ng] Syslog and syslog-ng on HP-UX

[Evan Rempel]

If you are not using the standard syslogd to accept messages from the network then you can run
syslog-ng bound to IP 127.0.0.1 and NO OTHER sources, and configure syslogd to forward messages to @localhost.

This will relay all message from the standard syslogd into syslog-ng and allow you to verify some functionality.

You will not be able to read the same sources simulaneously.

Evan.
