Precautions Ensure that the syslogd process is started with the -r option on a Linux log host.
Note the following issues while editing the /etc/syslog.conf file:
■Comments must be on a separate line and must begin with the # sign.
■The selector/action pair must be separated with a tab key, rather than a space.
■No redundant spaces are allowed in the file name.
■The device name and the accepted severity of log information specified by the
/etc/syslog.conf file must be identical to those configured on the device using
the info-center loghost and info-center source commands; otherwise the
log information may not be output properly to the log host.
