Yes, I was trying it - but in the process I lost all logging from the router. I thought it was my changes, but even after I reverted all of them it was no go. Then I though of using ethereal, and it turned out that if the router senses that that its external syslog is not listening, it stops sending logs!
I wonder how it manages to do that - isn't it using UDP on port 514?
Me too... Indeed it is using UDP. Could the rsyslog daemon send something back if it is not listening?
Yes, the sender will probably receive an ICMP port unreachable message, which I guess a sender could be looking for, but normally UDP is shoot and forget. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.0°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
