Hello I 'm Carlos Mercado,
You are maybe my last resource to solve my problem:

My problem is:

I'm setting in syslog.conf file:

*.info		/opt/cemf/gsr/gsr.log
*.info		@MYSERVER

and in MYSERVER I have a raw udp server listening on port 514.
All seems to work fine but my problem is that while in the file appear the
entry:

Feb 13 11:52:08 GSR16-AVN 791: Feb 13 11:53:13: %SNMP-3-AUTHFAIL:
Authentication failure for SNMP req from host 192.168.92.26

on the port I'm receiving:

<187>Feb 13 11:52:08 791: Feb 13 11:53:13: %SNMP-3-AUTHFAIL: Authentication
failure for SNMP req from host 192.168.92.26

I had runned syslogd -d to try to detect the problem:

net_poll(14): received message from 200.51.240.11.194.43
writemsg(4): Logging msg '791: Feb 13 11:53:13: %SNMP-3-AUTHFAIL:
Authentication failure for SNMP req from host 192.168.92.26' to CONSOLE
/dev/console
writemsg(10): Logging msg '791: Feb 13 11:53:13: %SNMP-3-AUTHFAIL:
Authentication failure for SNMP req from host 192.168.92.26' to FILE
/opt/cemf/gsr/gsr.log
writemsg(5): Logging msg '791: Feb 13 11:53:13: %SNMP-3-AUTHFAIL:
Authentication failure for SNMP req from host 192.168.92.26' to FILE
/var/adm/messages
writemsg(11): Logging msg '791: Feb 13 11:53:13: %SNMP-3-AUTHFAIL:
Authentication failure for SNMP req from host 192.168.92.26' to FORW
MYSERVER

In overview:

I can´t to determine what host was the original source of the syslog
message, because it isn´t forewarded.

The operating system is SUN OS 2.7 running over a ULTRA ENTERPRISE 450

Thanks in advance
