Hmm -- from 9.1 to 9.3 syslog has morphed into syslog-ng.
I have my gateway/router set to send syslog info to my SuSE system. This worked fine on 9.1 but I can't figure out how todo it on 9.3.
There are two levels of configuration one can deal with -- the individual package's config file (syslog-ng.conf) or the /etc/sysconfig/syslog file. All the documentation addresses the first, but comments in that file say to leave it alone and use the second. But there is nothing in that file that seems appropriate for enabling external connections.
Anyone have experience with this?
What is it you want to configure? To enable syslog to listen to the network you need to add "-r" to the syslogd parameters. This is mentioned in the docs, and in sysconfig/syslog you have SYSLOGD_PARAMS
