According to the man page for syslogd, the -x option disables name lookups when receiving remote messages to prevent deadlocks when the nameserver is running on the same system as the syslog daemon. This is not the case; DNS is running on a different system. > > > /etc/syslog.conf was also edited.

It seems that syslogd is not accepting remote messages on 514/UDP, but why? Is the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS line incorrect in some way? > > Alexander Thank you for your suggestions! Ronald
