That's probably Linux

in rc.conf define this:
syslogd_flags=""

That way it does not get started with -s (secure mode, does not recieve 
stuff).

On the other machines specify your loghost as reciever
like

*.*				@ipofyourloghost
or whatever you'd wish to log there.
It uses port 514 UDP. (That's generic for syslog)

Also don't forget any firewalling thingy's you use.. You must allow the 
traffic ;-)
