The main important trick is that syslogd on the destination box has to be started with the -r (remote?) flag, otherwise it won't listen on udp/514, which is where the Cisco is attempting to send data to (at least, by default). As far as I know, most syslogd's aren't set -r out-of-the-box, so you have to make this change. As for syslog.conf, I didn't have a problem with the original configuration. Hope this helps. Jima
