Works for me, sorry.
Scenario:
kuolema: Log goes to finlandia
logger foo typeth
finlandia: collecting logs from kuolema
now reconfigured to resend everything to carelia
carelia: collecting logs from remote
On kuolema:
kuolema!joey(ttypa):/var> logger foo
On finlandia:
Sep 17 20:59:19 finlandia syslogd 1.3-3#33: restart (remote reception).
Sep 17 20:59:31 kuolema joey: foo
On carelia:
Sep 17 20:59:18 finlandia.infodrom.north.de syslogd 1.3-3#33: restart (remote reception).
Sep 17 20:59:31 finlandia.infodrom.north.de joey: foo
Check if syslog finds the host (syslogd -d may help), check if you're
allowed to log to the 2nd host.
Regards,
Joey
