setting up loghost server

I setup a solaris 9 machine to be my log host server
by adding the auth.info entry to the syslog.conf file
to point to a local file system on that machine.

For the clients I have an entry in their syslog.conf
auth.info @loghost

But it's not logging to my loghost server it's logging to
each client locally.

I added an entry in the nis+ host table for my hostname of my
loghost with the alias of loghost and when I do a niscat hosts |grep loghost
it returns the name of the machine I setup for my server.

But each client has in its host file

IP address hostname loghost

So that's why it's logging to the local client I suppose.

How do I get the clients to recoginze that the loghost is
the server I've defined in the hosts table??

Thanks much.
