[syslog-ng] Help

[Patrick H.]

I loathe compiling on solaris, and try to avoid it wherever possible. If 
the only reason youre not using the pre-compiled package is the lack of 
init script, then it'd be easier to get an init script than compile a 
new syslog-ng. If anything, you can just yank the init script from the 
source and use it with the pre-compiled version. If youre using solaris 
10, then the proper way is to use the SMF manifests. A good source is 
http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+smf/manifests and 
there's one for syslog-ng listed there.
