URGENT: IPv6 and syslogd
 

Hi everyone,

I am currently using Redhat Linux (kernel 2.4.20-6). I am trying to setup syslog using both TCP and UDP over IPv6.

I have successfully logged messages from a router to my server with TCP over IPv6. However, I am having trouble trying to do this same thing with UDP.

UDP by default uses port 514. I figured that since syslogd logged messages for TCP (opened port 1470 for listening via socket command) that it woud also automatically log messages for UDP.

I know that datagrams are being received on port 514 by using the tcpdump tool, they are just not being logged.

I've researched the Internet but have come up empty. Can anyone please provide me with any ideas on what is going on? Do I need to configure something extra?

Here is what is working:
Syslog with TCP over IPv4
Syslog with UDP over IPv4
Syslog with TCP over IPv6

Here is what is not working:
Syslog with UDP over IPv6

Thanks for your support,
