Logging Messages to a UNIX Syslog Daemon
This task is optional.
Some recent versions of UNIX syslog daemons no longer accept by default syslog packets from the network.
If this is the case with your system, use the UNIX
man syslogd
command to decide what options must be
added to or removed from the syslog command line to enable logging of remote syslog messages.
Note
Before you begin

• Before you can send system log messages to a UNIX syslog server, you must configure the syslog daemon
on a UNIX server.
