Syslog broadcasting 1

[srenshaw]

Hi,

I have a Redhat 9 server and I want it to broadcast its syslog message to my Win2003 server.

If I got this right, I need to add the following line to /etc/syslog.conf ?

*.*           @192.168.64.20

Where should I add that line in the file ? Do I need to do anything else ?

Also, I don't want to flood my Win2003 server. What should I write instead of *.* to only receive important messages ?

Thanks !

Yes. That will send all messages to 192.168.64.20 (not broadcast).

man syslog.conf, and examine the default syslog.conf file for tips on cutting traffic.

Thanks, I will do that.
