I am trying to do some monitoring on a PIX via RH7.1 using xinetd. I have
setup the software on RH and PIX to do this via syslog. My trouble is
setting up xinetd to open the port (514/UDP) to allow this to come in.

Any help?

Thanks,
David Arnold

If this is a case of just allowing data to come in on port 514 using the UDP
protocol, then you could issue the command:

/sbin/ipchains -I input 1 -p udp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d <your ip here> 514 -j ACCEPT

However, I suspect syslog is already running on your system. You will need to
modify the /etc/rc.d/init.d/syslog file and make sure that syslog runs with
the "-r" parameter to allow it to process remote syslog requests coming in.

See ya
