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.

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.
The rsyslog.conf in FC 9 is much easy to be configured, just enable the InputTCPServerRun and ModLoad. It is not the problem in FC 9 rsyslog server, it is the problem in CentOS syslog, no messages sending to FC9 when I checked with tcpdump on port 514 on FC9.
Has anyone made CentOS 5 syslog work to send messages to remote syslog server? Or, I am wondering if it has never worked on CentOS 5?
Thanks Dag and all responses.
Kind regards,
