Hello,

    In the machine that receives the syslogd messages, try specifiying
the message source:

+host		# host is the name of the machine that sends messages
local0.*	/some/file.log	# the message type and log file
+*		# resets the log source specification...

    The manual page syslog.conf(5) specifies this issue.
