Fedora uses syslogd to provide a syslog service. The default configuration of syslogd rejects messages from remote systems. To configure a Fedora system to accept log messages from other systems on the network, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/syslog. You must use root privileges to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/syslog. Add the option -r to the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS: SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r" Restart the syslogd service to apply the change: su -c '/sbin/service syslog restart' By default, the syslog service listens on UDP port 514.
