how to do remote logging using syslogd in QNX?

1. How can i use syslogd for remote logging in QNX? I have tried to edit the client host's config file  by giving  
server machine's ip preceded by @ symbol. Also /etc/services in the server and client includes:           syslog   514/
udp   to listen.  But still it does not work? 

2. I am superuser in both hosts. May be  client generating log needs some permission. But i dont have any method to give
 such permission.  So i am unable in any case to log remotely by syslogd.  

3. Also how can i use slogger for remote logging? There is no such option i see?

slay syslogd

edit /etc/syslog.conf

# The file must exist for logging to occur!!
#mail.*			/var/log/maillog
#*.*				/var/log/syslog
*.*				@IpAdr_of_MachineWhere/var/log/syslogfileexists

syslogd

Now syslogd should log all messages to the specified remote box.
Do not miss the @ infront of the IpAdr.
