Hi ALL.. I am sorry to ask again, I had create a hostname of abc.mycompany.com to map to the
logserver IP 10.10.10.10 for example in /etc/hosts

and in /etc/syslog.conf 
I have this 
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none                @abc.mycompany.com

And in the logserver, I have added SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r" in /etc/sysconfig/syslog and restart
syslog in client and server

But I don't see any connection from client to logserver at all and also no log is recorded in the
logserver.  Anything wrong?

Besides, I want to know what is the file location on the logserver that the client will log to ? 
in the client's /etc/syslog.conf, it has @abc.mycompany.com but it did not specify what file
location in logserver.
