Hi again Mike,

It's good to be thorough! I don't mind the suggestion, because it is
probably something I have overlooked. I know that the other server is
receiving messages, because I do get some messages to that server, however
not all messages. When I have the *.* @10.0.27.44 row in place, I get
standard syslog messages, but nothing from mythlogserver. If I replace the
"default" settings for mythtv logging with:

if $syslogfacility-text == 'local7' and $programname startswith 'myth' then
@10.0.27.44
& ~

I get some messages from mythlogserver itself, but not any messages from
mythbackend. I have also tried:
if $syslogfacillity-text == 'local7' and $msg startswith ' myth' then @
10.0.27.44
& ~

Nothing of this works, I just don't get anything on the remote server...

Regards,

Andréas
