I doubt that if it were installed on OpenSolaris that it would work
for processing logs for local programs.  This is because the things
that do the logging are going to use libc's implementation of
syslog(3C), which logs via a door (see libdoor(3lib)).  Doors are
unique to [Open]Solaris and as such syslog-ng is unlikely to be
listening for log messages at /etc/.syslog_door.
