[SunHELP] syslog

[David Baldwin]

Thanks,
Is there a way to tell if the router is attempting to write to the
syslog and getting denied?  The router is set up appropriately and so is
the syslog server, ping says they are alive and there are no acls
blocking traffic, but the logs remain empty.
Thanks again for any suggestions.
Dave Baldwin

The "local" bit is just a way to assign a "name" of some kind AFAIK. I
made each of our
routers a different local #, although truth be told I memorized the IP's
about the same time
I remembered the Local #'s.. ;-)

In cisco it looks like:

logging trap debugging
logging facility local4
logging 192.168.0.1

Hi all,
I have a network engeneer asking me to set up a syslog server for his
routers.  He gave me some instructions entitled "Setting Up the Syslog
Facility on a Sun Workstation"  It states that all I have to do is add a
line to syslog.conf, create a log file with the right perms and restart
syslogd.  The line is as follows for syslog.conf " local7.debug
/var/adm/logname"
I did some checking and found that local0-7 is reserved for local use
and that the router has to be configured to use the same level 0 through
7.
What I would like to know is, just what exactly is local0-7, and what is
reserved for local use supposed to mean, since it is not just local
apparently?
Thanks for any help.
