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, jupiter
