Hello,
I have a router which can send to a syslog server, so I have tried to
set that up. I've set the server IP on the router, and set an iptables
rule to accept the packets:
# iptables -I INPUT -p udp -i eth0 -s 192.168.0.1 -d 192.168.0.5 --dport
514 -j ACCEPT
# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT udp -- 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.5 udp dpt:syslog
...
I've verified that /etc/default/syslogd has SYSLOGD="-r"
However no messages are making it into the file. My two ideas are
1) my iptables rule is wrong; and/or
2) even though /etc/default/syslogd has SYSLOGD="-r" it isn't actually
using that option:
root at binnie:~# ps aux | grep rsyslogd
syslog 650 0.0 0.0 34324 1332 ? Sl 17:24 0:00
rsyslogd -c4
however looking in man rsyslogd, I don't see an -r option.
Any help figuring this out would be most welcome.
Thanks!
