I used to run 4.6 where syslogd worked fine with cisco 7507, as5300, and
max4048. Eversince I've installed 5.0-RELEASE, I used exact same config as
old, but can't get it working. Please help. The following is configs:
<syslog.conf>
*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit /dev/console
*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages
security.* /var/log/security
auth.info;authpriv.info /var/log/auth.log
mail.info /var/log/maillog
lpr.info /var/log/lpd-errs
ftp.info /var/log/xferlog
cron.* /var/log/cron
*.emerg *
local0 /var/log/routers/nas1.log
local1 /var/log/routers/gw-kln.log
local2 /var/log/routers/max3.log
local3 /var/log/routers/max2.log
local4 /var/log/routers/max1.log
*.* /var/log/all.log
<rc.conf>
syslogd_flags="-a *.isot.com"
#syslogd_flags="-a nas1.isot.com" ; also tried this

Instead of using *.isot.com, try just specifing the dns name of one of your
routers that you would like to log.
syslogd_flags="-a rtr1.isot.com"
If you get syslog messages with this, then try adding additional -a flags
for each of your routers.
syslogd_flags="-a rtr1.isot.com -a rtr2.isot.com ... rtrN.isot.com"
You may want to send a message to FreeBSD-Current at freebsd.org informing them
that remote logging isn't working for you.
