central syslogging with solaris 10 client not working

Hello,

I have a central syslog server I recently configured running on solaris 10. I have solaris 8 and 9 clients currently sending data to it successfully but no solaris 10 clients.

Of the 4 solaris 10 servers I have tried to configure not one will send any data to the new syslog server. I have added the new server to /etc/hosts as the loghost, I have edited the syslog.conf to reflect the new logging parameters including @loghost. I have restarted syslogd using kill -HUP <syslog.pid> and svcadm refresh system-log and also svcadm restart system-log. I am then testing with various logger -p <facility.level> "test" commands. they all show up in /var/adm/messages but my central server never recieves anything from them.

This is all that has been required on 8 & 9 but I am obviously missing something with solaris 10. Can anyone help please? I can include files if you request.

in case anyone else out there has this problem. Solaris 10 reads /etc/inet/ipnodes before /etc/hosts. If you have a loghost defined in /etc/inet/ipnodes the system will log to that host rather than the one in /etc/hosts. Just edit the entry to remove loghost.
