I am running CentOS 5 and I tried to config flowing statement in syslog.conf to send syslog messages to a remote server running on FC 9, but it did not work. There was nothing send to the FC9.

"*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none @@192.168.1.5"

Could anyone advice whether the syslog in CentOS 5 does not support remote server, or I could be missing something?

Try just one @ instead of two?

The double @ is for using tcp/514 instead of udp/514, which is more reliable. But you need to configure it correctly on the server to make sure it accepts the traffic. The rsyslog.conf manpage has some info, the documentation in /usr/share/doc/rsyslog contains the details.

Kind regards,
