What type of socket does Solaris use for syslog? Is it one of those
funky door things, a Unix domain socket, or a UDP socket? You might
want to start by playing with this code in Mon (line numbers approximate):
229
230 setlogsock('unix')
231 if grep /^ $^O $/xo, ("linux", "openbsd", "freebsd", "netbsd");
232
233 openlog ("mon", "cons,pid", $CF{"SYSLOG_FACILITY"});
And do something with the setlogsock() that's appropriate for Solaris
and/or the way you have syslog set up there.
If that doesn't help, write a quick sample program that sends a few log
entries using the example code in the man page for Sys::Syslog.
Does that reproduce the problem?
