Hello, Using RHEL4 (update 2) I have in the /etc/hosts.allow file this entry: exim : 141.163. : severity daemon.notice : ALLOW (Exim is a mail MTA package.) In the /etc/syslog.conf file I also have: daemon.notice /var/log/daemon However, if I connect to the server on port 25 I get a response from Exim but no connection attempt is logged by syslog to /var/log/daemon. I have tried changing the syslog.conf file to things like 'daemon.debug', and then restarting ksyslogd, but still nothing logged. If I change the hosts.allow file and comment out the exim line, we operate a default deny policy in the hosts.deny file, then I get denied access to Exim. Anyone any ideas about why syslog is not logging things? Thanks, John. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- John Horne, University of Plymouth, UK Tel: +44 (0)1752 233914 E-mail: John.Horne@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fax: +44 (0)1752 233839 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
