[SunHELP] Syslog doesn't work...

Hi,

Many thanks you gentle folks for all of your help, but 
I'm afraid none of these had worked at all... :_-(

At last I tried this syslog.conf entry:

*	/var/adm/messages
or
*.*	/var/adm/messages
than
# logger -p daemon.notice test

but nothing had happend...:((

In my depths of despair I used the good ol' truss:
and here's the mystyrious output:

truss /usr/sbin/syslogd -f /etc/syslog.conf

Could you explain please, what do all of these mean?

Thanks in advance!
