syslogd-1.4.1-542 (syslog)

11/Nov/2005 tested on SuSE 10.0

Logs system message from remote device, such as router, switch, and wireless access point

Even though syslog-ng (syslog next generation) is the default syslog daemon, syslogd has been the standard, and easy to configure

Configuration

  • Install rpm 
    # rpm -ihv syslogd-1.4.1-542.i586.rpm

  • Edit /etc/sysconfig/syslog 
    ...
SYSLOGD_PARAMS="-r"
