syslog remote logging

2007-12-25 9:45:00

Hi all,

Sorry, I've been kinda busy and couldn't summarize earlier. But thanks to all

your replies I have something interesting ( and frustrating) to share.

Scenario 1:

On local machine /etc/syslog.conf

local2.debug /var/log/syslog

local2.debug @harry

on remote machine (harry) /etc/syslog.conf

local2.debug /var/log/syslog

First of all there have to be TABs between both the fields, spaces do not work.

We use DNS for hosts, so /etc/nsswitch.conf file says:"hosts files dns".

When I have the entry @harry it does not work. The hostname just does get

resolved , whether I put it in /etc/hosts of let DNS resolve it. If, however,

I use an IP address it works.

I will post more the moment I have a resolution to my problem.

Thanks

Ashish
