Forgot that under tcp 544 is shell, but under udp 544 is syslog.

When you do a netstat it resolves the names for the ports based on what's in /etc/services. There may be a reason you would want to run syslog-ng in TCP mode, which would show up as *.shell. But I guess you figured out you don't need TCP syslog. ;-) - -- gentux echo "hfouvyAdpy/ofu" | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint ==> 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDU+p/LYGSSmmWCZMRAj0rAKCObOFvK/Rjxh3eO58pM97M9h+Z3ACgwRZA 7WzdJhAPNeO0LhC2qWq69Yc= =wZg2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
