Logging Problems

[Michael Dahlberg]

Yes.. that's the -t switch.  From the Solaris 8 syslogd man page:
        -t    Disable the syslogd UPD port to turn  off  logging  of
               remote messages.
Unfortunately, the syslog daemon that starts from /etc/init.d
does not start with the -t option.  Therefore that's not the
problem.
