I have make a syslog-ng server and the clients are pushing their
syslog (by default daemon) messages to syslog-ng server. The logs are
fine on the server but I am unable to view the logs on the clients
dmesg(/var/adm/messages).

I m interested to have the logs on both sides...I mean on the
syslog-ng server and on the clients it self.

The clients have /etc/syslog.conf as under.
=====================/etc/syslog.conf=====================
*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice                   @loghost
#*.err;kern.notice;auth.notice                   /dev/sysmsg
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit        @loghost
*.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit        /var/adm/messages
*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err                     operator
*.alert                                         root
*.emerg                                         *
mail.debug                      ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)
mail.debug                      ifdef(`LOGHOST', /var/log/syslog, @loghost)
ifdef(`LOGHOST', ,
user.err                                        @loghost
user.err                                        /dev/sysmsg
user.err                                        @loghost
user.err                                        /var/adm/messages
user.alert                                      `root, operator'
user.emerg                                      *
)

Thanks in advance .
