You have to configure completly than the interface comes up only: udp(); is not enough: source s_udp { udp(port(514)); }; destination d_router { file("/var/log/router.log"); }; filter f_router { host("x.x.x.x"); }; log { source(s_udp); filter(f_router); destination(d_router); }; netstat -an | grep :514 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:514 0.0.0.0:* regards Stefan ----- Ursprüngliche Mail ----- > Von: "Stefan Fuhrmann" <stefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > An: arch-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Gesendet: Dienstag, 1.
