System name:		m11-113-16
Type and version:	IP22 0.8E
Display type:		UNKNOWN video

What were you trying to do?
	look at system logs on this machine

What's wrong:
	logging seems a bit verbose:

*.debug;kern.none       /var/adm/SYSLOG

<8> m11-113-16:~> wc /var/adm/*SYSLOG
        30       450      3222 /var/adm/SYSLOG
      6807     76781    613860 /var/adm/oSYSLOG
      6837     77231    617082 total

also, syslog rollovers are done via in root's crontab (this appears to
be the vendor behavior), rather than via newsyslog.conf (athenaism).

What should have happened:

	logging should be less verbose.  more log history should be kept.
