10840 ? S 0:12 syslogd -m 0 -r Then you might check your /var/log/messages file to see if by some chance the Nortel messages are just getting to the wrong file. Further, I might suggest commenting out the local6... lines in the /etc/syslog.conf file and just test to see if the Nortel messages are getting across at all. Once you find them in the std messages file, you can work on getting them into a seperate file. I can't help you there as I haven't gotten it working yet.
