They are everywhere - Linux Newbies like me. But that shouldn't be the topic here.
I asked the question in the german board, they advised me to ask the question here.

As cunning fox i bought a embedded Alix-Board solution with installed SliTaz to have a sysloggin machine but i found out that SliTaz 'syslogd' cannot handle the 'syslog.conf'

Question: How can I manage it?
There are messages coming in on port 514 (tcpdump) but are not stored in a .log file. Is there another file to edit like the syslog.conf that i can save those external incoming messages?
My idea was to 'easily' install syslog-ng or something else like this - than the LinuxNewbie (me) was born and the situation was desperated. A paket from the paketmanager didn't help there is no alternative program and after trying to download syslog-ng it was asking me for the distribution, respectively i got the source code .tar.gz which i had to compile by myself with somethin like ./configure or ./install - no way - not a bit :-(

May someone has an idea?

Many thanks in advance
