19.7 Miscellaneous Configuration Files
19.7.1 /etc/syslog.conf
The system log daemon, syslogd, records it's information in log files on the system as determined by its configuration file, /etc/syslog.conf. These log files, usually /var/adm/messages and/or /var/log/syslog or /var/adm/SYSLOG (IRIX) or /var/adm/syserr/syserr.hostname (Ultrix) will, among others, contain messages related to problems with the network. The Solaris 2.X syslogd requires that the m4 macro process program be installed (in /usr/ccs/bin) to interpret the syslog.conf file. syslogd can be run with the -d option to debug problems with syslog.conf entries.
