Perhaps Solaris isn't using a gnu syslogd? Perhaps Sun compiles their
syslog differently?
The fact is that it is different...it's not Solaris, it's Red Hat or
Fedora Core.
I'm an AIX admin by trade, and a Linux admin by hobby. Both do things
differently. I don't complain that one does things differently than the
other. I make note of the differences, and then I work with/around them.
