Indeed the syslog.conf link was not present. I created it and verified that /tmp/syslog.conf exists on the workstation - it contains the line "*.* @192.168.0.254" which is the correct IP address of the server. Unfortunately, the workstation's screen still reports the same error.
I've learned via the Gentoo forum that more people than I'd known have had this same problem with the 3.0.7 version so I'm now going to follow advice urged on that forum to emerge the 3.0.9 version although it's still in testing. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
