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

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.

Security-wise, NT is a server with a "Kick me" sign taped to it.
