It would be nice if something was done about the current syslog.
The last time I used it for centralized logging, things didn't quite turn out
like I hoped. Solaris' syslog is limited, delicate, and only supports UDP.
Also, I found a bug where the workaround was in an email from 1994 or 1996.
Saw someone in opensolaris-help having trouble building syslog-ng,
and it got me to wondering why that hasn't been integrated (perhaps
with any changes needed to support doors rather than a Unix domain
socket for local communication).
AFAIK, the existing syslog has a lot less functionality.

Clearly syslog-ng needs to be able to pick up such messages *and* create a

Wouldn't it be better to use SMF for that now instead of a custom door
solution for just that one service?

Hi,
Is syslog-ng available for OpenSolaris, through IPS or otherwise? If
I were to build it, is there an easy metapackage for the build
system, maybe analogous to Red Hat's rpmbuild+dependencies or Debian's
build-essential metapackage?
Thanks!

Solaris Syslog doesn't log using a door.
Solaris logs on /dev/conslog but uses the door only
to determine if the
syslogd is running.

I always wondered at the sanity of using a door for this purpose.
My biggest problem with the code is that syslogd_ok() is always called,
