    I am running Solaris 9 with the latest_recommended. I have set up my servers
    to send their syslog messages to a central server, and then set up that server
    as a relay server to forward all syslog messages to a third server. This
    works, but the messages sent to the third server are stripped of the
    originating servers hostname and state that they are only from the relay
    server. I have researched this but have not come up with any solutions, any
    help would be appreciated.

    Eric
