Are you sure that the facility code for cron matches on Solaris and Linux?

Try to create a bare bone configuration like:

(solaris)

source s_all { internal(); sun-streams("/dev/log" door("/etc/.syslog_door"); };
destination d_tcp { tcp("1.2.3.4"); };
log { source(s_all); destination(d_tcp); };

(linux)

source s_all { internal(); unix-stream("/dev/log"); tcp(); };
destination d_messages { file("/var/log/messages"); };
log { source(s_all); destination(d_messages); };

And as soon as it works, try playing with filters and the rest.
