I have also tried to give an ip instead of localhost. What I observed is. any IP configured on the machine doesn't work. If I give IP which does not exist at all and after bringing up syslogd I create alias of any interface with the IP given will work. -----Original Message----- From: Gavin Spurgeon [mailto:gspurgeon@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, August 18, 2010 5:33 PM To: Community support for Fedora users Subject: Re: forwarding Syslog messages on localhost:514 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 08/18/2010 12:48 PM, Mansuri, Wasim (NSN - IN/Bangalore) wrote: > > Hello, > > I have following problem with respect to syslogd on fedora13. > > With the following configuration in the /etc/syslog.conf i should be able to receive all syslog messages on localhost:514 port. > > *.* @localhost > > I am not getting anything on localhost:514.

Just a very quick suggestion, did you try:- *.* @127.0.0.1 Or try :- *.* @<IP ADDRESS OF THE MACHINE> I'm not saying it *will* work, but just a very quick suggestion that may be worth trying... You may also need to add the "-r" option to syslogd's service config file...
