OK... so how about adding  something like this in /etc/syslog.conf:

## uncomment section below to enable forwarding of ALL syslog messages 
## to a loghost.  You also need to enable remote reception on the
## loghost with "syslogd -r" if using version 1.3 or higher, 
## otherwise you won't see the messages. NOTE: syslog uses UDP port 514, 
## and can be used for DoS attacks; you may wish to block outside
## access to this port at your router or loghost, or keep the loghost 
## behind a MASQing firewall.
