    It looks like he was dealing with another version of Linux.

    I found a place where I could make the changes he suggest
    [/etc/rsyslog.conf]:

        # Provides UDP syslog reception
        $ModLoad imudp
        $UDPServerRun 514

    Then I need to find where the logs go or better yet send them to a
    file like /home/bobg/Ulog in this computer [192.168.1.9]. He suggests:

        2. (Optional) Create the file /etc/rsyslogd.d/openwrt.conf with
        the following contents:

        :source, isequal, "myrouter.mydomain" /var/log/mylogfile.log
        :source, isequal, "myrouter.mydomain" ~

    I created that file but I don't think it is recognized by the
    version of rsyslog in Fedora-17?
