Thank you, Liane and David. Your responses have been enlightening and helpful.
I had started going with David's suggestion until I got Liane's response. Coincidentally, I had originally thought of making syslog-ng an instance of system-log, but before this project I had very limited experience with SMF (my background is Solaris but I've been doing mostly IRIX at this job), so I wasn't exactly sure how to implement it since available docs and tips are so spread out. I've made the suggested changes to /var/svc/manifest/system/syslog-ng.xml, which I have attached to this post, and while it seems to work, I'm seeing something odd (to me, anyway): [jlloyd at cosolbnzred-sol10:~]$ svcs -a | grep system-log disabled 11:27:33 svc:/system/system-log:default online 11:27:55 svc:/system/system-log:syslog-ng uninitialized 11:27:48 svc:/TEMP/system/system-log:syslog-ng [jlloyd at cosolbnzred-sol10:~]$ Have I done something wrong in the manifest file to create the "TEMP" service, or could it be an artifact from some sequence of svccfg delete and import commands?
