Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
Use /etc/athena/syslogd instead of /usr/sbin/syslogd to be able
to use the zephyr features.
What's wrong:
It doesn't read from /dev/log properly since it assumes /dev/log
is UNIX domain socket instead of a STREAMS log driver. So most syslog'd
info appears to be lost.
What should have happened:
syslogd for Solaris should have STREAMS code in it. Apparently
the version 2.0 and higher zephyr syslogd code has had the STREAMS code since
1995. Hopefully the code used to build syslogd for the system packs can
be updated.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

man -s 7 log
