You're welcome :-). Yes, I changed the /etc/defaults/syslogd file to
allow remote logging. Here it is:
#
# Top configuration file for syslogd
#
#
# Full documentation of possible arguments are found in the manpage
# syslogd(8).
#
#
# For remote UDP logging use SYSLOGD="-r"
#
SYSLOGD="-r"
And this is my /etc/syslog.conf:
# /etc/syslog.conf Configuration file for syslogd.
#
# For more information see syslog.conf(5)
# manpage.
#
# First some standard logfiles. Log by facility.
#

# The named pipe /dev/xconsole is for the `xconsole' utility. To use it,
