[syslog-ng]Getting AIX systems to log to a Solaris host

[ampeterson]

I am trying to get all of our AIX systems to log all of their system
messages to a Solaris system.  I have syslog-ng complied on both the Solaris
and AIX platforms.  I have syslog-ng working just fine on Solaris, however,
I am having problems getting AIX to log to a Solaris system.  Is anyone
familiar with how to configure the syslog-ng.conf file on the Solaris side
and on the AIX side so  AIX will log it's system messages to Solaris (and
yes I have already configured the odm to pass system messages to syslog on
AIX)?  

Here is a short, simple version of the syslog-ng.conf file that I have setup
on the Solaris side:  
> # Global options
> options { sync(0); time_reopen(10); log_fifo_size(100); };
> # Sources
> source all { tcp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(10514)); udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514));
> internal(); sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door")); };
> #
> # Destinations
> destination auth-log    { file("/var/log/syslog-ng/auth-log"); };
> #
> # filters
> filter f_auth	{ facility(auth) and level(notice); };
> #
> # Logs
> # Loghost
> log { source(all); filter(f_auth); destination(auth-log); };


I have tried to add the unix-dgram / unix-stream segment in to accept calls
from AIX, but it doesn't work:
> #Sources
> source all { unix-dgram("/dev/log");  tcp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(10514));
> udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514)); internal(); sun-streams("/dev/log"
> door("/etc/.syslog_door")); };

and also
> #Sources
> source all { unix-stream("/dev/log");  tcp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(10514));
> udp(ip("0.0.0.0") port(514)); internal(); sun-streams("/dev/log"
> door("/etc/.syslog_door")); };


I've have also tried a more generic approach for both Solaris and AIX, but
it doesn't work: 
> #Sources
> source all { unix-stream("/dev/log"); internal(); };


After I added the unix-dgram and unix-stream segment on the first example
and started syslog-ng, my device file /dev/log on Solaris and the
/etc/.syslog_door file were replaced with incorrect files.

I looked through the discussion threads, and I haven't been able to find any
discussion concerning this matter.  I apologize in advance if I missed this
discussion thread.

Thank you for your help!
