Hi Russell... last I checked syslog was working fine. I don't understand
why this would just suddenly "stop" working.

$ ls -lad services
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  73414 Jan 14 03:35 services
$ grep 514 services
shell           514/tcp    cmd          #like exec, but automatic
syslog          514/udp
fujitsu-dtcns   1514/tcp   #Fujitsu Systems Business of America, Inc
fujitsu-dtcns   1514/udp   #Fujitsu Systems Business of America, Inc
rmonitor_secure 5145/tcp
rmonitor_secure 5145/udp

The only thing here that might be odd is when I do a netstat -a:

$ netstat -a | grep syslog
udp4       0      0  localhost.1221         localhost.syslog

$ netstat -a | grep 514
udp4       0      0  *.2514                 *.*
e4b350a0 stream      0      0        0 e4b35140        0        0
e4b35140 stream      0      0        0 e4b350a0        0        0

But again.. why the heck would this just stop working suddenly? :-/

I'm currently updating Bundle::CPAN and then I'll rebuild Sys::Syslog
and such.

Thanks for replying!
Best,
