Need Information on installing syslog-ng on Solaris 10
Hello. I am trying to find information on how to install syslog-ng on Solaris 10. I have been able to build syslog-ng 2.0rc1 from scratch and am now in the process of attempting to replace the Solaris syslog system with the syslog-ng I have built. The instructions for installing syslog-ng on Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 do not suffice since some of the files mentioned in these documents do not exist on Solaris 10 (specifically the start-up script for syslog). I have seen some mention in the archives of some people who have solved this Problem, but since the archives do not seem to have a search function, I cannot find the beginning of the threads so I can piece together what I ned to do. Also I am not a Solaris SysAdmin, although I have access to one. I have to build and deploy syslog-ng from source since if syslog-ng generates RFC3164 syslog message that cam be forwarded to a centralized syslog server, I will have to deploy it on machines running various flavors of Solaris (8 and 9), Linux, and FreeBSD. I thank you in advance for the help. -------------------------------------------------- James R. Swenson Information Technology Services The Pennsylvania State University jrs40@psu.edu, 814.863.1348

You could extract the package I have at: http://www.campin.net/download/NCsysng-1.6.7-1.pkg.gz It has the proper files and scripts to replace the stock solaris 10 syslogd with syslog-ng. In order to give you proper instructions I'd have to grab that and extract it anyways (it's been a good year and a half since I put that package and procedure together so it's not loaded up into memory any longer). -- Nate "Remember: It ain't a sport if it can't kill you." - seen in John R.
