how do you know it's not working? are you sure your syslogd on the remote host isn't dropping messages? on my debian box, syslogd doesn't listen to the network.

same here!

you can get logs of specific services you are running. by default they all are stored in /var/log

the pbm has ben solved ...syslog daemon was running locally but wasnt listening to remote host's messages, i ve modified /etc/sysconfig/syslog file and specified '-r' switch there so that this server should liusten for remote messages, it works.
Anyways, thanx for ur replies
