Solaris 10 syslog question 1

[dandan123]

I'm trying to disable syslog from accepting messages from remote sytems.

On earlier Solaris versions you had to restart syslogd with the "t" switch, not clear how it's done in Sol 10.

This is what I did -

#svccfg
svc> select system/system-log
svc:/system/system-log> setprop config/log_from_remote = false

restarted syslog using svcadm.

Is this correct ?

Thanks hohihe, but the information there doesn't cover what I'm looking for.

Try the following configuration /etc/default/syslogd

Also, have you tried netstat -aP udp | grep syslog to see if it is still listening for messages from remote systems?

When it is still active it should look like this:

[tt]$ netstat -aP udp | grep syslog
*.syslog Idle
$[/tt]

Annihilannic,

Thanks ! I checked and what I'd done was correct.

Thanks again.
