Remote syslogging on OS X 10.3.7

10.3.7 was suppsed to fix the remote syslog problem unfortunately for us it didn't.

I've found the whole pipe to be broken, but to make remote syslog work for us on Mac OS X 10.3.7 The following was necessary:

1) In /etc/rc remove the "-s" flag from syslogd
2) Change any @host.domain entries in /etc/syslog.conf to their respective IP addresses and then everything worked fine.

To test to make sure you are logging remotely and locally try
/usr/bin/logger -p daemon.info "This is a test"

To make sure syslog has open files locally use
/usr/sbin/lsof | grep syslogd
