    The only thing I can find that looks like it may be appropriate for
    this in /etc/rsyslog.conf:

        # remote host is: name/ip:port, e.g. 192.168.0.1:514, port optional
        #*.* @@remote-host:514
        name/192.168.1.9:514
        # ### end of the forwarding rule ###


    I do not see "## hosts from which we accept logs ##" anywhere?

    Ok, I think I have that port open.

    Now I would like to send the output to /home/bobg/ulog

    Thanks for the help,

    Bob

    PS: We are having intermittent rain showers that block my k-band
    path to the Viasat satellite. An infrequent problem with this
    otherwise excellent service.
