Syslog - Message forwarded from

I am not a Unix / AIX admin, but am working with one that doesn't seem to know how to set up syslog to forward messages to me the way I need them. Every message they send me has "Message forwarded from <insert host name here>:" but I need it to only have the host name.

In the examples below, the first one is how I am receiving the syslog messages (verified by using TCPDUMP) and the second one is how I would like to receive it. cola041 is the host name.
<142>Mar 25 18:27:15 Message forwarded from cola041: Oracle Audit[2265272]: LENGTH: "219" SESSIONID:[7] "1740145" ENTRYID:[5] "16867" STATEMENT:[4] "2337" USERID:[6] "DBSNMP" USERHOST:[7] "cola041" ACTION:[1] "3" RETURNCODE:[1] "0" OBJ$CREATOR:[3] "SYS" OBJ$NAME:[13] "V$ALERT_TYPES" OS$USERID:[6] "oracle"

<142>Mar 25 18:27:15 cola041 Oracle Audit[2265272]: LENGTH: "219" SESSIONID:[7] "1740145" ENTRYID:[5] "16867" STATEMENT:[4] "2337" USERID:[6] "DBSNMP" USERHOST:[7] "cola041" ACTION:[1] "3" RETURNCODE:[1] "0" OBJ$CREATOR:[3] "SYS" OBJ$NAME:[13] "V$ALERT_TYPES" OS$USERID:[6] "oracle"
The admin did start using the -n option for syslog, but now there is no host name or "Message forwarded from cola041:". Can someone tell me if this is possible and how I need to ask our admin to set this up properly?

Many thanks.

Matt

XINETD.LOG(5)							File Formats Manual						     XINETD.LOG(5)

NAME
xinetd.log - xinetd service log format DESCRIPTION
A service configuration may specify various degrees of logging when attempts are made to access the service. When logging for a service is enabled, xinetd will generate one-line log entries which have the following format (all entries have a timestamp as a prefix): entry: service-id data The data depends on the entry. Possible entry types include: START generated when a server is started EXIT generated when a server exits FAIL generated when it is not possible to start a server USERID generated if the USERID log option is used. NOID generated if the USERID log option is used, and the IDONLY service flag is used, and the remote end does not identify who is trying to access the service. In the following, the information enclosed in brackets appears if the appropriate log option is used. A START entry has the format: START: service-id [pid=%d] [from=%d.%d.%d.%d] An EXIT entry has the format: EXIT: service-id [type=%d] [pid=%d] [duration=%d(sec)] type can be either status or signal. The number is either the exit status or the signal that caused process termination. A FAIL entry has the format: FAIL: service-id reason [from=%d.%d.%d.%d] Possible reasons are: fork a certain number of consecutive fork attempts failed (this number is a configurable parameter) time the time check failed address the address check failed service_limit the allowed number of server instances for this service would be exceeded process_limit a limit on the number of forked processes was specified and it would be exceeded A DATA entry has the format: DATA: service-id data The data logged depends on the service. login remote_user=%s local_user=%s tty=%s exec remote_user=%s verify=status command=%s Possible status values: ok the password was correct failed the password was incorrect baduser no such user shell remote_user=%s local_user=%s command=%s finger received string or EMPTY-LINE A USERID entry has the format: USERID: service-id text The text is the response of the identification daemon at the remote end excluding the port numbers (which are included in the response). A NOID entry has the format: NOID: service-id IP-address reason SEE ALSO
