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.
