This was (kind of) it. Turns out syslog/klogd weren't running. In fact, the
only S*syslog was in /etc/rc.d/rc4.d. There were no refs to it in any other
section of runlevel scripts. I dropped it in rc3.d, which is how I run here.
Started it up and it's logging fine. 

Now if I could figure out why /var/log/mail and /var/log/news end up with
hundreds of thousands of entries in them. Took me about 3 hours to delete here
on a SCSI-160 system with a P-III 700.
