Omniorb 3.0.x uses tcpwrappers. The problem is tcpwrappers overwrites the 
vsyslog function (syslog function relies on vsyslog at least on GNU/Linux) to 
send all syslog output to stderr. So all you need to do is edit the following 
file
$(OMNIORB_SRC_ROOT)/src/lib/omniORB2/orbcore/gatekeepers/tcpwrapper/fakelog2.c

Change the name of vsyslog function to something else and then change the 
fakesyslog function to use the new function name.
I think there is also another file that uses a direct call to vsyslog but I 
don't remember which file.
