OS X and syslog

I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

I am trying to setup my OS X machine as a syslog server. In the
syslog.conf file, I have created the following entry:

local7.debug /var/log/cisco.log

The cisco.log file exists, and I used chmod 666 to change the
privileges.

I configured one of my routers with the following:

logging 192.168.1.100 (address of my OS X machine)

This address is pingable, and there is no FW in the way.

For some reason I do not get any entries in the cisco.log file as I
would expect.

netstat -a shows that syslog is a running udp protocol.

If there are any UNIX gurus out there who might know of any reason why
this doesn't work, I'd love to hear from you.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
