Hi All Thanks for your responses. But even after doing the following: 1. edited /etc/sysconfig/syslog file and changed SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0" to SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0" 2. saved that file 3. /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog restart and then checked /syslog/nortel_8600 file, but nothing is coming to that file. That file has rwx for everyone Can anyone really help me on this, your help is greatly appreciated
