Logging Messages to a UNIX Syslog Daemon
This task is optional.
Note
Some recent versions of UNIX syslog daemons no longer accept by default syslog packets from the network.
If this is the case with your system, use the UNIX man syslogd command to decide what options must be
added to or removed from the syslog command line to enable logging of remote syslog messages.
Before you begin
• Log in as root.
• Before you can send system log messages to a UNIX syslog server, you must configure the syslog daemon
