NRPE message in /var/adm/messages

Hi Guru's

On one of our servers we have every few seconds following error:

Apr 28 10:15:27 svr10010 nrpe[12580]: [ID 927837 daemon.info] connect from reno.customs.govt.nz
Apr 28 10:15:29 svr10010 nrpe[12585]: [ID 927837 daemon.info] connect from reno.customs.govt.nz

Here are the details from this box:

reno is our nagios host

ss0747@svr10010] /var/adm$ traceroute reno

example

Server A
192.168.10.10 ABOX loghost
192.168.10.20 BBOX

Server B
192.168.10.20 BBOX
192.168.10.10 ABOX loghost

Server A check your /etc/hosts to see if you host ip address has a loghost next to it.

Server B check the /etc/hosts to see if there is an entry that pointing to Server A as the loghost

check your /etc/syslog.conf

Thank you for your suggestion

I did it like you pointed it out but the messages are still in the /var/adm/messages

Can somebody please tell me how can I redirect these messages.

Thanks in advance
cheers
