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.
