Syslog broken in 2.9?

Well I am running rc6 since rc7 was losing mac addresses and would go all xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx for all connected mac’s. Problem is tho I have not been ABLE to get SYSLOG working at all. Is it non-functional in 2.9? I have added remote to the logging for critical, system, wireless, and warnings with the remote with the IP address of the computer running the syslog daemon but nothing is being logged.
