There's no firewall blocking that port.  I'm not running syslogd 
through xinetd so /etc/hosts.allow doesn't seem to have any effect (I 
went ahead and tried adding it just in case).

Yes.  It's logging to the /var/log/auth.log file but only for the 
machine syslogd is running on.

That's apparently the way Mail.app in OS X decided to interpret the 
tabs.  Weird.

At any rate it's still not working.  I'm at a dead end here - any other 
suggestions?  Doing "ps aux | grep syslog" shows "syslogd -m 0 -r" so 
that seems to be ok.

Thanks again.
