I have a dozen or so devices that shoot me syslog info and, I
will admit, up until now I have been using a windows box as my syslog
server. Now I want to use my linux box. I have two nicks in my
linux box and I pointed my devices to the IP of eth0. I then added local0.*
through local6.* to my syslog.conf and pointed them to respective logs. I
restarted syslog (service syslog restart) and eagerly awaited information, but
none arrived.
I have grand ideas about collecting information like: Wed,
2007-06-20 17:29:18 - TCP packet - Source: 192.168.26.50 - Destination:
216.252.124.27 - [Attempt to access URl: thmg01.video.search.yahoo.com Src
3782 Dst 80 from LAN] and then colleting it together in useful
ways. But for now I can not get my linux box to do anything but sit their
like a cold fish, and quite frankly I do not know where to look for the
problem.
Suggestions?
