Problems with syslog

I'm using v9.1, and am trying to get syslog running. I've been all over the man pages and FAQs, and cannot get the daemon to receive input. The conf file is set up, and I know the router is sending out data. The syslog daemon under this installation isn't registering any input at all, and the daemon stops and restarts fine. None, absolutely none, of the log fines are registering any input. If it matters, the network device is a Cisco router. Any thoughts and places to look would be appreciated. Thanks, Jeff
