I was in the process of writing something similar to syslog(3) to handle logging error reports from an application running on various machines. A daemon runs on a Sun, listening for messages on a UDP AF_INET socket. The application, on an error, sends out a UDP packet to the daemon. All works beautifully from Sun to Sun, or Sun to self. But when I try to log a message from a VAX 785 running 4.2 BSD to the Sun, nothing gets there. No error reports on either end and all the ports, protocols, and addresses check out. In the process of tracking this down, I noticed that talk, which also uses udp, does not work between the VAX and the Suns. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Please *mail* replies, I do not usually read unix-wizards. Thanks, in advance. -- David C.
