Hi there all,

I've looked through the man page, howtos, and deja news archives trying to
find out how to make syslog listen to, and log from, the network.

We have a router that uses port 514 to send log info. The man page for
syslog says that syslogd -r should listen to the network. Can this be done
without rebooting linux?

I am assuming that I will need to alter the entries in all runlevels in the
rc?.d directories to reflect the -r switch. Is this correct?

Hope someone can help with this.

Thanks
Graham
