Enable syslogd - to receive logs from workstations

i'm having problems trying to get syslogd to work on our new xserver. i read the latest command line 10.4 manual (and i called apple who don't support command line). page 284 says:
To configure Mac OS X Server as a log server that accepts log messages from other
systems on the network:
1 Open /etc/rc and locate the following line:
/usr/sbin/syslogd -s -m 0
2 Replacing the IP address after -a with your network information, change the line to:
/usr/sbin/syslogd -n -a 192.168.1.0/24
The -n option disables DNS lookups.
3 Insert this command as the next to last line of the file, right before the “exit 0” line:
killall -HUP syslogd #re-load configuration
exit 0
syslogd contains features not documented in its man page. A more recent man page
that fully describes its features is available at www.freebsd.org/cgi/
man.cgi?query=syslogd.
the /etc/rc file does not have this entry:
/usr/sbin/syslogd -s -m 0
...i called apple and they don't support command line for premium service and support.

> i'm trying to get the xserver to receive syslog output from workstations scattered across several subnets
I realize what you're trying to do.
>is your suggestion going to enable xserver to accept workstation syslog output?
Once the above change is made, the server will accept syslog output from any device on the network that is configured to send logs to this server. This includes not just other Macs, but switches, routers, printers, and anything else that supports syslog.

  • Unable to recieve any logs from Sun machine....

    Hi,
    I'm using Sun Solaris v10 and i have problem in receiving logs from sun machine. The syslog server is my windows which i want my sun machine to sends logs to (windows machine is ALIVE on default port 514).
    I have edited the syslog.conf file as:-

    All this but my syslog server remains empty of any logs yet.
    Is there a way where i could explicitly make Sun machine to generate logs by invoking some methods......as for now its taking for ever to generate logs by the machine.
    Please rectify this problem as I have reached a dead-end making sense of the logging mechanism proposed by the sun machine.

    Try replacing any space characters in the lines you added to syslog.conf with tabs.

  • Some question about receiving messages from Skype ...

    Hello there, 
    I have a question or two about recieving messages from Skype users, who are not on my contact list" 
    1. If I have enabled to only receive messages from people in my contact list, will they be notified when they try to send me an instant message, that they need to add me first?
    2. Will I still be able to see messages sent by contacts who are not in my contact list and them see my messages*, if we are both in a Skype conversation group but not on each other's contact list? *The messages either one of us posts in the Skype group conversation
    I appreciate the information
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    1. The person sending this message will not receive any notification about failing message delivery. The message will just disappear in nowhere.
    2. Messages exchanged in group chats will be seen both by you and the other person, even if this person is not in your Contact List.

  • I am having some trouble with receiving messages from iMessage users when I don't have my iMessage turned on. When I called for support, I spent 30 min waiting and the woman's response to me was "Turn on your iMessage." I prefer not to use it

    I have an iPhone 5s and a MacBook Pro. Ever since I updated my computer software to Yosemite, it linked my Apple ID with my phone number and I am not receiving messages from iMessage users on my phone, but rather to my computer. I don't like to use iMessage so I keep it off and would like to receive all messages as SMS texts. I have already tried changing my Apple ID password, logging off of my Apple ID in iMessage on my phone and turning it off, and changing settings on messages on my computer. Nothing is working. Either the messages continue to go to my computer or the messages trying to be sent say they cannot be sent.
    After spending 30 + minutes waiting for technical support, the woman helping me (who did not give me her name) told me I should just turn on iMessage. After explaining that I don't like having iMessage on and asking why it worked for at least a year up until this point she said "things change and sometimes we don't know why things do what they do". She asked me about various other things on my phone such as bluetooth and told me to turn on and off airplane mode and the call disconnected. I have not been contacted since, even though she has my phone number.
    I am hoping for some help and also hoping people don't get the type of service I received tonight.

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • Not receiving email from one domain

    Hi,
     I am running Exchange 2003 on Windows Server 2003 SP2 and suddenly starting having the problem of not receiving mail from one domain.  All other domains seem to be fine, although seem slower to receive mail than normal.  The sender of the domain in question does not receive any NDR or bounce back error messages, so they are none the wiser the mail has come through.  I have checked the junk/spam, I don't have any filters which could be blocking the domain.
    Any ideas??
    Thanks

     
    Hi,
    Please enable the protocol log on SMTP virtual server to check whether the remote domain has attempted to connect to your exchange server to send email to you.
    If the remote domain has attempted to connect to your exchange server, please check whether the message is received by the SMTP server. If the message has been received, please use the message tracking log or queue viewer to check whether the message stuck on the server.
    If the message is rejected, you can use protocol log to gather further information.
    If the remote domain does not attempt to connect to your exchange server, I think you need to work with the remote domain admin regarding the issue as other domains are able to send email to you with no problem.

  • Receive data from PayPal

    Hello.
    Assuming that I send data into PayPal (with the use of  "HTML Variables for PayPal Payments Standard"):
    var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
    variables.cmd = "_xclick";
    variables.business = "A8AJGG5PS2GKE";
    variables.upload = "1";
    variables.item_name = "some item";
    variables.amount = "123";
    variables.currency_code = "USD";
    variables.lc = "pl";
    variables.page_style = "PayPal";
    variables.return = "my site";
    variables.re = 2;
    variables.no_note = 1;
    variables.no_shipping = 1;
    variables.notify_url = "[email protected]";
    var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr");
    request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    request.data = variables;
    navigateToURL(request, "_blank");
    Does anyone managed to integrate PayPal IPN - "Instant Payment Notification"-
    (https://www.paypal.com/ipn/) with AS3 in order to receive data from PayPal?
    Could you please show any example of using it.

    My idea is as follow:
    1. .swf on you page sends variables into PayPal
    2. After finishing the payment on PayPal, the customer is auto-redirected to your page ("return" variable)
    3. Customer returns to your page. PayPal does NOT send any payment data there.
    Separately in the background, you receive a form POST from PayPal at a different URL (notify_url variable) - (here resides the php that I added below).
    4. You post back a form with cmd=_notify-validate and all fields you received from PayPal. PayPal responds with a single word VERIFIED or INVALID
    5. If you receive VERIFIED, you can process payment
    This method means that you can easily update for example your MySQL database but unfortunately you have to reload .swf file each time - and that's why it is not a perfect solution in my opinion;
    PS:
    - variables.return   and variables.notify_url must be absolute urls
    - notify_url must also allow anonymous access from outside of your network
    - firewall must be opened to host: notify.paypal.com
    - in your business PayPal account:
    Auto Return = Enabled in account profile
    PDT = Disabled in account profile
    IPN = Enabled in account profile
    - php file:
    <?php
    // read the post from PayPal system and add 'cmd'
    $req = 'cmd=' . urlencode('_notify-validate');
    foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
            $value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
            $req .= "&$key=$value";
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr');
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $req);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Host: www.paypal.com'));
    $res = curl_exec($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    // assign posted variables to local variables
    $item_name = $_POST['item_name'];
    $item_number = $_POST['item_number'];
    $payment_status = $_POST['payment_status'];
    $payment_amount = $_POST['mc_gross'];
    $payment_currency = $_POST['mc_currency'];
    $txn_id = $_POST['txn_id'];
    $receiver_email = $_POST['receiver_email'];
    $payer_email = $_POST['payer_email'];
    if (strcmp ($res, "VERIFIED") == 0) {
            // process payment
    else if (strcmp ($res, "INVALID") == 0) {
            // log for manual investigation
    ?>

  • Cannot receive mail from .Mac account on port 143

    I use my laptop at work. I used to have a 12" Powerbook G4 running OS X 10.4.3. I had no problem receiving mail from my .Mac account. Now, and all of a sudden, I can no longer receive my .Mac mail using the Mail app. The error I get is:
    The server "mail.mac.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143.
    I called AppleCare about this issue last night and they told me to perform the following steps:
    1. Choose .Mac in System Preferences and delete my username and password from the Account tab.
    2. Move com.apple.mail.plist and the Mail folder from my ~/Library folder to the desktop.
    3. Restart the Mail app and re-import the Mail folder from the desktop. I was told not to directly copy the Mail folder from the desktop into the ~/Library folder.
    4. Go back into .Mac in System Preferences and re-enter my account information.
    According to AppleCare, things should now work. But there's a little problem with this "solution." I spoke with my network admin and he told me that incoming traffic on port 143 is blocked. That being the case, I fail to see how any of the above steps will solve my problem. It seems nothing more than an issue of trying to get my network admin to open port 143 and he seems reluctant to do that.
    Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Richard

    I've solved this problem. Well, actually, I didn't do anything other than:
    1) Rebooting my computer, then...
    2) Following the instructions at the top of the following thread to re-create my email accounts (I had two):
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1598309#1598309
    Not sure what this fixed, and how I got into this issue in the first place.
    I had four or five days worth of email to come in... it took...
    ...a...
    ...long...
    ...time...
    But its looking like its working.
    A few things I tried, and although they didn't have an immediate effect to fix the connection refused problem, they might have kicked something to start something working again:
    1) Created a new 'test' user on the system, restarted, logged in as that user, and started Mail.app setting it up with .Mac settings (it was after this everything worked)
    2) Changed SSL ports in the accounts settings (no difference)
    3) Turned firewall on and off (no difference)
    4) Attempted to use Thunderbird to read .Mac email as IMAP mailbox (didn't work)
    Hope this rather obvious help helps anyone else

  • How to write to windows event logs from determinations-server under IIS

    This is just an FYI technical bit of information I wish someone had shared with me before I started trying to write OPA errors to the windows event log... Most problems writing to the windows event log from log4net occur because of permissions. Some problems are because determinations-server does not have permissions to create some registry entries. Some problems cannot be resolved unless specific registry entry permissions are actually changed. We had very little consistency with the needed changes across our servers, but some combination of the following would always get the logging to the windows event log working.
    To see log4net errors as log4net attempts to utilize the windows event log, temporarily add the following to the web.config:
    <appSettings>
    <!-- uncomment the following line to send diagnostic messages about the log configuration file to the debug trace.
    Debug trace can be seen when attached to IIS in a debugger, or it can be redirected to a file, see
    http://logging.apache.org/log4net/release/faq.html in the section "How do I enable log4net internal debugging?" -->
    <add key="log4net.Internal.Debug" value="true"/>
    </appSettings>
    <system.diagnostics>
    <trace autoflush="true">
    <listeners>
    <add
    name="textWriterTraceListener"
    type="System.Diagnostics.TextWriterTraceListener"
    initializeData="logs/InfoDSLog.txt" />
    </listeners>
    </trace>
    </system.diagnostics>
    To add an appender for the windows event viewer, try the following in the log4net.xml:
    <appender name="EventLogAppender" type="log4net.Appender.EventLogAppender" >
    <param name="ApplicationName" value="OPA" />
    <param name="LogName" value="OPA" />
    <param name="Threshold" value="all" />
    <layout type="log4net.Layout.PatternLayout">
    <conversionPattern value="%date [%thread] %-5level %logger [%property{NDC}] - %message%newline" />
    </layout>
    <filter type="log4net.Filter.LevelRangeFilter">
    <levelMin value="WARN" />
    <levelMax value="FATAL" />
    </filter>
    </appender>
    <root>
    <level value="warn"/>
    <appender-ref ref="EventLogAppender"/>
    </root>
    To put the OPA logs under the Application Event Log group, try this:
    Create an event source under the Application event log in Registry Editor. To do this, follow these steps:
    1.     Click Start, and then click Run.
    2.     In the Open text box, type regedit.
    3.     Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Application
    4.     Right-click the Application subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
    5.     Type OPA for the key name.
    6.     Close Registry Editor.
    To put the OPA logs under a custom OPA Event Log group (as in the demo appender above), try this:
    Create an event log in Registry Editor. To do this, follow these steps:
    1.     Click Start, and then click Run.
    2.     In the Open text box, type regedit.
    3.     Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
    4.     Right-click the eventlog subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
    5.     Type OPA for the key name.
    6.     Right-click the new OPA key and add a new DWORD called "MaxSize" and set it to "1400000" which is about 20 Meg in order to keep the log file from getting too large.
    7.     The next steps either help or sometimes cause an error, but you can try these next few steps... If you get an error about a source already existing, then you can delete the key.
    8.     Right-click the OPA subkey, point to New, and then click Key.
    9.     Type OPA for the key name.
    10.     Close Registry Editor.
    You might need to change permissions so OPA can write to the event log in Registry Editor.  If you get permission errors, try following these steps:
    1.     Click Start, and then click Run.
    2.     In the Open text box, type regedit.
    3.     Locate the following registry subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog
    4.     Right-click the EventLog key, select Permissions.
    5.     In the dialog that pops up, click Add...
    6.     Click Advanced...
    7.     Click Locations... and select the current machine by name.
    8.     Click Find Now
    9.     Select both the Network user and IIS_IUSERS user and click OK and OK again. (We never did figure out which of those two users was the one that fixed our permission problem.)
    10.     Change the Network user to have Full Control
    11.     Click Apply and OK
    To verify OPA Logging to the windows event logs from Determinations-Server:
    Go to the IIS determinations-server application within Server Manager.
    Under Manage Application -> Browse Application click the http link to pull up the local "Available Services" web page that show the wsdl endpoints.
    Select the /determinations-server/server/soap.asmx?wsdl link
    Go to the URL and remove the "?wsdl" from the end of the url and refresh. This will throw the following error into the logs:
    ERROR Oracle.Determinations.Server.DSServlet [(null)] - Invalid get request: /determinations-server/server/soap.asmx
    That error should show up in the windows event log, OR you can get a message explaining why security stopped you in "logs/InfoDSLog.txt" if you used the web.config settings from above.

  • Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

    Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?

    To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
    The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone.

  • Still can't receive messages from Iphone Users

    Greetings,
    I know there are many topics asking similar questions if it's googled, and I think I have read through almost all of them to no prevail. I know veterans of these boards probably get tired of seeing the same topics, but im desperate and will try to keep it quick. I really appreciate any help.
    I recently upgraded from a 4S to a Galaxy S5 and have not been able to receive messages from Iphone users since. I still have my old Iphone. Here are the steps I've tried:
    1) Ensure "IMessage" is disabled in my old phone
    2) Unregistered my phone number with my Apple ID. I currently have no phone numbers registered with them
    3) Changed my Apple ID Password
    4) Unregistered my Iphone with my ITunes Account.
    5) I also have a Macbook Air and a 2010 model IMac. I have also ensured I am signed out on those devices and my phone number isn't linked in anyway I could find.
    6) I called Apple 3 Days ago and the representitive was very nice and professional but ultimately was incorrect. He advised me that the new IoS7 is more advanced and should check about every 12 hours to see if the user on the other end has an active IMessage account. He said to wait 24 hours just to be safe. He also advised people running older IOS systems could take up to 3-4 days to contact me correctly. Furthermore he said if after that time frame their phones still sent me IMessages instead of SMS then THEY were having problems and should call Apple. I just really doubt that is the case.
    I have tested it out with 5 Iphones now with help from some friends, all running IOS7 and still no luck 3 days after the phone call to Apple.
    7) I tried logging back into IMessage today on my Macbook and it worked, I was still able to send and receive texts from Iphone users. This seems like it should not be possible since it is not linked to my phone number anymore. It is logged into the same Email that I used to have linked to my phone number.
    Now as others have said, If I have them hold down the bubble and send as text message 3 times their phone will remember and keep sending my texts, however that is unreasonable to ask everyone to do. There should just be a way to completely delete your Apple ID. Is there anything I'm possibly overlooking? I really appreciate any help.

    I am right there with you. This describes my problem to a T. Only other issue I am having is group texts. Iphone users who include me in a group text still send as imessages as well, so even if I text them first and they reply, it send as an imessage. Get it together apple.
