I tried that. It doesn't work either. syslog never binds to Port 514. Anyone knows why this is?

You didn't mention if you were using F8 or another version. In F8 the file to edit is /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog. In other it is /etc/sysconfig/syslog and I modified mine and restarted.

Ooops...   Hit send too soon...

I don't have FC6 running but RHELv4 using syslogd works as well as RHELv5.

From RHELv5 which is, if memory serves me, a work product of FC6...

[root@gangster sysconfig]# netstat -nap | grep 514
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:514 0.0.0.0:* 13158/syslogd


Sorry for the multiple posts....trying to watch the Australian open at the same time. Good thing I'm not trying to chew gum as well.


It works as expected....

[root@f8 sysconfig]# netstat -nap | grep 514
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:514 0.0.0.0:* 2527/rsyslogd udp 0 0 :::514 :::* 2527/rsyslogd

    Just a guess here...but shouldn't it be

    SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0"
