We have recently added some newer AIX boxes to our heterogenous Unix network.  After one of the boxes crashed, I could find no useful information under /var/adm, /var/log or /var/msgs.  I checked out syslog.conf and found it was sending some messages to /dev/console and others to /tmp/syslog.out (which disappears when the system reboots).

Does anyone have a prefered configuration for syslog.conf which will generate output similar in usefulness to the default output to /var/adm/messages on solaris?
 
Any help will be appreciated.
