Thanks. Yesterday, I found out that it was my config. But I found out after much troubleshooting efforts. I downgraded from syslog-ng 2 to syslog-ng 1.6.11 and then noticed through 'truss' that messages where indeed being sent to syslog-ng. Then I was determined to scrub my config and force everything to log to one file, and then it started working. After that, I did more research on the config paramters, and ended up with a nice clean working config. Thanks again, -Rory Savage On Jul 27, 2007, at 2:41 AM, Nate Campi wrote:

I just installed syslog-ng on a Solaris 9 (SPARC) server. It will not log anything to the console nor to /var/adm/messages. Does anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong?
source s_sys { internal(); sun-streams ("/dev/log" door("/var/run/ syslog_door")); };
There's a working config posted here:
http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/solaris-conf.txt
...and the source line looks different in the copy on the FAQ site that what you posted. That's taken from a syslog-ng.conf I used on solaris at a past job.
Here's what I use on Solaris currently:
source local { sun-streams("/dev/log"); udp(ip(0.0.0.0) port(514)); internal(); };
...and it's working right now on at least a couple hundred boxes. -- Nate
Security-wise, NT is a server with a "Kick me" sign taped to it.
