[syslog-ng]syslog-ng under Solaris 5.6

[Martynas Buozis]

Hello

Thank you for reply and tip how to get rid of these messages. Alias this
solution mean, that I will loose other messages at this level from kernel
and I am not sure if this is what I want (we usually monitor all WARNINGS
and sometimes these indicate memory or CPU cache problems).

Also I think, that if native syslogd is not logging these messages after
HUP'ing or restarting it, so probably there is a way how to tweak code and
act in same way as syslogd ? But probably it is not so important to change
code and fix problems for old OS ....


With best regards
Martynas Buozis
