Using syslogd for other devices on LAN (printer, access point, etc)

I have googled a bit on using syslog on FreeBSD to receive events from other devices on the LAN & see that I need to start the daemon with the "-u" switch, if I am not mistaken. I have additionally searched on how to start my daemon in this way but have not found how to do this. Would someone be so generous as to explain to me which "conf" file I need to edit.
Extra points for the command on how to restart the daemon to make the config chage take effect without rebooting.
(note: I have already allowed the traffic through the firewall)
Peace & Love.

Thanks for your help and advice. I got there eventually in a roundabout way! At one point I was given an error message stating that the configuration could not be retrieved from the Time Capsule. Then the internet connection via the modem was lost. But after a couple of intensive restarts, both units appeared under the same network and I can see my printer connected now.
I've seen this with AEBSs when changing their configurations, too. Glad you got round the problem in the end.
One more question through, I've connected a 4 port USB hub to the Airport Extreme Basestation but I can only get one printer to show up at a time under System preferences and Airport Utililty. Is this because the USB hub being used is not self powered or because this model of Airport Extreme only allows connectivity to a single printer at any one time?
I think it is because you can only use one printer at a time with this model. See this knowledge base article for details. You likely have firmware version > 5.5 but I'm guessing don't have the relevant AEBS model. Take a look, though.

Can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices?

can time capsule be connected wirelessly and still use ethernet ports for other devices? we have it connected wirelessly but devices connected to the ethernet ports are not working.

Not as an additional router.. the TC will be plugged into the main router via ethernet (or ethernet equivalent)..
Then the TC is setup in bridge mode. It will simply act as a Switch and HDD.
The wireless can be setup in a number of ways.
From your convenience point of view use it in roaming network mode..
you simply give the TC the same Wireless Name as the existing routers SSID.
Same security setting and password. WPA2 Personal = WPA2 AES which is the best.
But they both use different wireless channels.. normally if you leave the TC on auto it will work fine, but I prefer to control the network.. so set the main router to say 1 and the TC to 11.
You can also use a completely different wireless name etc.. that is up to you. It is still a single flat network and the only thing that is important is only having one router.

Using "Save for Web & Devices" for a Organization Chart with Text

I created a document in CS3 Illustrator that is an Organization Chart. It contains rectangles, lines, and text. It looks great in Illustrator.
I have tried to save it using "Save for Web & Devices" to create a JPEG and a GIF so that I can pop it into a Dreamweaver document as an image and it keeps coming out blurry.
I have tried changing its size and resolution. I have tried opening and exporting it into Photoshop to try to "clean" it up. Nothing seems to be working.
I'm obviously unlettered in this modus operandi!

Thanks for the response.
The background is transparent and will end up on a white background eventually.
I tried to make it clear in Dreamweaver by scaling it and it did seem to improve it somewhat. But it still doesn't look like the clear copy in Illustrator that I started with...
I also need to be able to embed this in a Word document to print for a hardcopy manual.
I had this same problem with Freehand a few years ago.

I have iphone 6 with ios 8.1.1. The bluetooth pairs with my sony car radio and everything works fine. However, the iphone won't stop searching for other devices.

I have an iPhone 6 with ios 8.1.1 operating system. The Bluetooth pairs with my Sony car radio and works fine. However, the iPhone will not stop searching for other devices. This does not seem to affect anything, but I can't help but think it is using battery power.

One possibility:
How do you know it is searching for other devices? Because you opened Settings > Bluetooth?

HT4914 once subscribed, does the main computer with library always need to be on in order for other devices to work?

I am trying to figure out if iMatch is right for my family. We have 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, an iPod Touch, and a few PCs. One PC has our music library on it in iTunes. We want to all share from the library with our own separate devices. If we subscribe to iMatch, does everyone need to use the same ID to access the library? Does the main PC with library need to remain on constantly for other devices to gain access? And my daughter has the iPod and we would like to control the content she is able to access, is this possible with iMatch? Thanks

You will all need to use the same id that you subscribe to iTunes Match with (that will need to be the account that is signed into on the devices/computers that you want to access the music from), but your computer doesn't need to remain on - when you subscribe your library is uploaded from that computer to the cloud, so it only needs to be 'on' then, when it's finished uploading it will be accessible from the cloud on your devices/computers via your internet connection.

No. However, you'll save yourself a lot of annoyance if each device has its own Apple ID for FaceTime/iMessage.

I have an iPhone4, used and locked to the UK network. I need to pay for the phone to be officially unlocked.
In the meantime we used it as a device to check emails and games etc.. We put a pass lock and after many failed attempts we forgot what it is. Now the phone is Disabled and iTunes can not fix it since it can not update the Software without the phone being officially unlocked..
any idea how to do this?
Please advice

You need to visit Apple Store, and show ownership proof in case of forgotton pass code.

How to find useful MIBs for Cisco Devices?

Hi,
I am setting up a new Monitoring System (CA Netvoyant). It has some default Cisco monitoring capabilities ( I believe these are soem standard MIBs). I am wondering how can I add more useful Cisco MIBs for the devices I have in my network. There are thousands of MIBs and it looks like it is not easy at all to find the useful ones.
For example the MIBs that can give you Emergency and up to warning level information, cpu, memory, interface errors, module failures (in case of Cat 6500), FWSM, BGP, VPN tunnel status notifications. Is there a list of useful MIBs for each device type, like Cat 6500, ASA5540, Cat 3750-E etc depending on IOS Image?
Any help in setting up the SNMP monitoring system would be really helpful.
Thanks

If there is a MIB for it, most SNMP Capable Management servers can poll them.
This can be such as FHRP states, Routing Peers, ASA Failover status, Seriel numbers for inventory purposes.
The potential is almost endless, it just depends what you should monitor to ensure you are in the know when your network hiccups.

Is there a way to delete the Apple ID on one device (IPhone 5) and replace the ID on that device with an existing ID used on three other devices?

Is there a way to delete the Apple ID used on one device (IPhone5) and replace it with another ID that is being used on three other devices?

If you have turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My you will have to start by turning that off - requires entering the Apple ID password. Then remove the Apple ID from all places it is used, i.e., Messages, FaceTime, and so on. Go to the App Store and then Sign Out. Now you can enter the desired Apple ID and password in all of those places.

Command button opens mission control, so I can't use it for other shortcuts

I have only had my macbook air for a few weeks, and I think I may have fiddled with settings before I had any clue what I was doing, as now every time I press the command key, it opens mission control, and I can't use command for other shortcuts... What have I done wrong and how do I undo it??? Help much appreciated!

I am having this issue, too, and Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't fix it, as I have not assigned Command to anything. It just states at the bottom "for additional choices press Shift, Control, Option, or Command," but doesn't seem to allow me to change these. Do you know of a way?

Use drive for other things

If I use an external hard drive for time machine, can I also use it for other things? I ask because I have a 500gb internal, and I'm debating on the 500 lacie or 1000 lacie. Obviously I only need the 500 for time machine, but I'm thinking additional space could be useful now that I have a HD video camera. Granted, I dont shoot a lot of movies, but HD does take up some storage. Any advice?

Before using the HDD for TM backups, create another partition for your other storage needs. Use the 1st partition for TM backups in case you need to expand into the 2nd partition. The TM partition should be 2-3X the contents you are backing up. TM is NOT a clone, therefore the size of the backup will grow.

You need to delete here conversation and start another one using her phone number and not her Apple ID. You cannot delete iMessage, you can disable it. If the Apple server still sees her iPod with iMessage on and using her Apple ID, then it will continue to appear to your phone that she has iMessage. She needs to take a look at this support document about permanently disabling iMessage for her account. Can’t receive text messages on a non-Apple phone

Asking to enter a device password in the access point but I don't have an access point

I installed the Intel Proseet Wireless Client and upon connection to my Linksys router a wizard comes up asking me to "enter the device password to my access point or external registrar". It displays an 8 digit number in the device password field. My only option at that point is to go "back", "next" or "cancel". If I click "next" it eventually fails to connect to my wireless router. I do not have an access point installed. Only the router and cable modem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If its asking you for the Access Point password when you are trying to connect to your Wireless Network, It means you need to input the Wireless Security Key which you have setup on your Router.
When you are trying to connect to your Wireless Network and it ask you for the 8 digit password, you need to Flip your router upside down and below you will find a 8 digit pin number (0000-0000) it will be in these format. Just input the 8digit pin without (-) and click on Next and it will connect you to your wireless network. Once successfully connected to your Network wirelessly you should be able to go online Wirelessly from your Computer.

Time Capsule is connected wirelessly and I need to use ethernet ports for other devices.

I have a 1st Gen Time capsule 802.11n and an Airport Extreem round hockey puck style. My airport utillity program is version 6.2 My OS is 10.7.5 My internet is from a verizon hot spot Jetpak. All my devices, laptop, desk top, printer, and time machine are running off this jetpak.
How can I use the ethernet ports on the back of my time capsule for a device that I had pluged in to my airport extreem? Before I had verizon, I had hughes net for my internet provider. My time capsule was the main unit in a WDS network with the airport extreem. I no longer have Hughes Net and I need to run this item that was pluged into the airport extreem ethernet port.
Of course with the newer airport utillity software (6.2) I can not control the older airport extreem anymore. This does not help my situation

You need to load the older utility.. 5.6 is still available for lion.

WDS is hidden option so hold down the option key..
But I would search around for a cheap airport extreme N square type.. doesn't matter how old and you can pick up the older ones for $50 or so easily.. Then you use wireless extend which works much better than WDS. Using WDS you are killing wireless speed for everything.
