According to the FAQ http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/smf/faq/#toc12 , I 
don't need to do anything to get logs rotated because it's already done by 
logadm.

But here's the question. SMF appears to redirect stdout/stderr of services 
straight to these log files. So that means these log files are kept open all 
the time, which in turn means log rotation won't work correctly --- the 
services will just keep writing to the old file, after it's renamed to 
something.0

How does people work around this problem? Is't this broken? Shouldn't SMF sit 
in the middle so that logadm can send a signal to reopen log files, or 
something like that?
