The port is open IF you use TCP syslog logging. However most syslog logging devices (devices/apps that log towards syslog) are not able to use TCP and use the "old" RFC define UDP logging. And in UDP there is no open port that you can realy check.

Ultimayely what I plan on doing is setting up a loop - IE sa sends a syslog event to kiwi and then sa will check kiwi's log via a webpage that I built that looks at the last logged IsAlive event and compares it to the current time. It will spit out syslog alive or syslog dead - I haven't done it yet, but it seems the easiest way to ensure the syslogd is up. If you'd like I can send you a more detailed solution including the .asp page I use when I've built it. -------------------------- Jeremy D.
