But won't this set up syslog to listen to packets on the syslog port (514)? The router is sending packets to port 162 (per my logs). All I really want is a daemon to listen to port 162, get the packets, format them, and put them in a file (say /var/log/router). I am not clear on how the -r option will accomplish that? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
