This specific case of log files came up in
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=11732&tstart=90
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=18391&tstart=0
The latter resulted in
6492262 It should be possible to add reference to service specific log
file(s)
which you can view at
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6492262 .
A more general "help text" field seems innocuous enough. If nobody
comes up with a good reason against it, file a change request on
bugs.opensolaris.org .
