Re: Syslogd on Solaris

[Doug.Hughes () Eng Auburn EDU (Doug Hughes)]

What patch level are you running at (jumbo kernel patch 101318)
most of the patches between 40-50 break syslog in one way or another.
I suggest upgrading to 54 if at all possible. It seems to fix the 
syslog and other broken problems (like truss) without breaking
anything that we've noticed yet. (But we aren't counting our chickens
yet either. :) )
