Sysloggin' to a remote machine...

Post by Paul 'the Destruction' Virg » Thu, 22 Apr 1999 04:00:00



Gleaning the man page on syslog.cong, I am under the impression
that I can do this:


This should log all debug messages into the file on the host
'somehost.domain.com'....

Is this correct? I'd like to try and implement it. I don't want to go
through the hassle of turning off 'loghost' alias in the /etc/hosts file
and having a DNS entry for a remote machine called 'loghost'
if I can explicitly specify the remote machine I want to log to.

Are there any other things I need to check? Thanks.

It will log them into the file /var/log/<customlog> on the local machine,
and also send the log messages to somehost.domain.com.  What somehost does
with them is controlled by *its* syslog.conf file.

1. 'talk' between remote machines

I can't get the talk command to function over the internet. The
situation is this: my brother and myself each get linux running. We each
log onto our respective ISP's. I get his ip address (or visa versa) and
type:


The talk daemon responds with 'connection refused' or something similar.
The same happens when he trys to talk to me on my machine. I have
messages turned on, so that's not it. If I first telnet into his

problem, so the daemon is definitely running.

Is there a configuration file I have to tweak? All other networking
works: telent, ftp, finger, even nfs works.

I run 1.2.13, he runs 1.2.8., both slackware (3.0 on my box, not sure on
his).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike
