I had found the problem myself. Thank u very much..
below the file and need to be changed
/etc/sysconfig/syslog to determine the various modes
in which it should operate. Syslog will not listen for
remote messages unless the SYSLOGD_OPTIONS variable in
this file has a r included in it as shown below.
# Options to syslogd
# -m 0 disables 'MARK' messages.
# -r enables logging from remote machines
# -x disables DNS lookups on messages recieved with -r
# See syslogd(8) for more details
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0 -r"
# Options to klogd
# -2 prints all kernel oops messages twice; once for
klogd to decode, and
# once for processing with 'ksymoops'
# -x disables all klogd processing of oops messages
entirely
# See klogd(8) for more details
KLOGD_OPTIONS="-2"
