Solaris syslog server and client

Hi folks,

I am attempting to setup a Solaris 10 syslog server to receive logs from linux machines. Here's what I did:

On the server (SunOS sun226 5.10), IP address: 192.168.212.226:
1. start syslogdby issuing $/usr/sbin/syslogd -T

On a client (SunOS sun221 5.8):
1. Configured /etc/syslog.conf to send logs to server using @server_ip_address



Below is the syslog.conf:
================
#ident "@(#)syslog.conf 1.5 98/12/14 SMI" /* SunOS 5.0 */
#
# Copyright (c) 1991-1998 by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
# All rights reserved.
#
# syslog configuration file.
#
# This file is processed by m4 so be careful to quote (`') names
# that match m4 reserved words. Also, within ifdef's, arguments
# containing commas must be quoted.
#
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice /dev/sysmsg
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit /var/adm/messages

*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err operator
*.alert root

*.emerg *
local7.info /var/log/local7.debug

*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none @192.168.212.226
authpriv.* @192.168.212.226
*.debug /var/adm/messages
*.info @192.168.212.226
auth.* @192.168.212.226

# if a non-loghost machine chooses to have authentication messages
# sent to the loghost machine, un-comment out the following line:
#auth.notice ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/authlog, @loghost)

mail.debug ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)
#
# non-loghost machines will use the following lines to cause "user"
# log messages to be logged locally.
#
ifdef(`LOGHOST', ,
user.err /dev/sysmsg
user.err /var/adm/messages
user.alert `root, operator'
user.emerg *
)



I am not receiving any communication between server and client.
There are no messages logged at /var/adm/messages on the server.

What am I missing? Thanks Smilie

On Solaris 10 you start services such as syslogd with svcadm
Code:
svcadm restart svc:/system/system-log:default
