[SunHELP] syslog question

[Cynthia Leacock]

I need your help guys.  I'm new to Solaris so bear with me My dmesg or syslog are not being updated...I don't believe.  Here is what I have.  This is not a heavily used server. I think it should at least log when I log into an ID wrong...which is what I"ve tried to do to make output go to this log.
   
  SunOS sun64 5.7 Generic_106541-41 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
   
  # ps -ef | grep syslogd
      root  2135     1  0   May 01 ?        0:00 /usr/sbin/syslogd
   
  Here are the last entries in dmesg and /var/adm/messages
   
  Apr 23 03:10:03 sun64 syslogd: line 39: unknown priority name ""
  Apr 30 03:10:16 sun64 syslogd: Could not completely output pending messages while preparing re-configuration
  Apr 30 03:10:16 sun64 syslogd: discarded 545 messages and restart configuration.
  Apr 30 03:10:17 sun64 syslogd: line 25: unknown priority name "*"
  Apr 30 03:10:17 sun64 syslogd: line 34: unknown priority name ""
  Apr 30 03:10:17 sun64 syslogd: line 39: unknown priority name ""
  May  1 14:07:29 sun64 syslogd: line 25: unknown priority name "*"
  May  1 14:07:29 sun64 syslogd: line 34: unknown priority name ""
  May  1 14:07:29 sun64 syslogd: line 39: unknown priority name ""
   
  I have stopped and started syslogd by killing the process associated the syslogd then I ran /usr/sbin/syslogd to start it back.
