[newbie] Syslog
I need to setup syslog on my 9.2.1 box. My router is 10.1.1.2. Two questions: Where do I setup the ip address of the router in linux and have the linux box accept log entries from the router? Is it just the /etc/syslog.conf file? Where do the logs go once it is setup? Do I need to setup a directory or do they go to the /var/log directory? If anyone knows where there is some good docs on this, that would be great. Thanks, Mike

Hello! I want to setup a Mandrake 9.2 box to work as a Syslog server on our network and do not know where to start. I know how to configure my routers/switches, but need help with Mandrake. Anyone have any good docs or websites? Thanks for the help. Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Mike Take a look at /etc/sysconfig/syslog Starting syslog with the -r option allows logging from remote machines. In the remote machines look at /etc/syslog.conf The right hand column gives the destination for the log, so *.*@hostname will send everything to a remote logger.

Kristjan Looks like it is trying to send samba packets out over your ADSL interface. Check /etc/samba/smb.conf and make sure your 'interfaces' parameter only includes the local net. If you have no interfaces parameter samba will work over all local interfaces. derek -- Thanks Detek I got my w2k box accessible with smb... Only authentication failed, when I try to connect to w2k box using smb. Are there any tricks that should be used with W2K and smb.. As I sayd I get access from w2k to samba server.

Kristjan Have you opened up your firewall between your samba server and the local net? In /etc/shorewall/rules you need lines like : ACCEPTfw masqtcp 137,138,139 ACCEPTfw masqudp 137,138,139 ACCEPTmasqfw tcp 137,138,139 ACCEPTmasqfw udp 137,138,139 (Depending on your mandrake release your local network may be called 'masq' or 'loc' ) Then 'shorewall restart' Other thing to check is in /etc/samba/smb.conf set wins support = yes HTH derek Yes Derek I have the ports opened as the samba server actually works and I can access the samba shares from w2k when I connect based on IP.
