Thanks for the input.  Actually, I am using 2.0 on Solaris for the
moment.  I put in a hack to get around the SysLog problem and things
seem to be working as expected, based on the comments from the
development threads.

I'll document what I'm doing as an "out of the box" Solaris 10
installation (including setting up the appropriate links for the
compilers, etc) on the O/S and continue documenting my experiences with
the Solaris installation.  When I'm finished, I'll send you all the
information that I have and perhaps it will be useful to include the
differences as an addendum to the documentation.

Thanks again for the info.

Bernie Frye

Hello!

First of all I have to mension, that I'm no solaris expert ;-).

ACK. If you had successfully setuped your system on solaris, we'd be 
very interested in your experiences ;-).

I don't know, how syslogin is done on solaris, but you could try to 
switch the loginmode of OTRS from syslog to a plain logfile. Just set 
the following parameters in Kernel/Config.pm (for OTRS 2.0):

    $Self->{LogModule::LogFile} = '/tmp/otrs.log';
    $Self->{LogModule} = 'Kernel::System::Log::File';

I'd recomment to use OTRS 2.0 even it is still beta, because this 
version has many new features and ofcourse we develop and fix bugs 
for 2.0 with a higher priority than 1.3.x.

Best regards,
Christian
