The problem must lie with the syslog-ng.conf. I am able to log from cisco pix firewalls without any problem. I assume that the configuration must be Different for logging from hosts then. Does anyone have an idea?, if so what should the configuration be for logging from these boxes.

IIRC, PIXes can do syslog over TCP, but your HP and Sun boxen surely cannot with the standard syslogd. I'd guess you have a TCP but not a UDP source. source src { sun-stream("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); internal(); # you need this udp(); }; -- Nate "A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away.
