[syslog-ng] Help

[Patrick H.]

Ya, dont use a linux init script on solaris, it wont work (without 
significant tweaking).
You can download solaris software from sunfreeware.com 
(http://www.sunfreeware.com/programlistsparc10.html#syslogng)
And no on the valid for a month thing. That would be a violation of the GPL.
