Well, I made the suggested change to syslog.conf to record *.info files,

local0.info file as I had expected. Any ideas and/or other suggestions?
Configuring syslogd can be tricky. Try this command to test you setup:
logger -p local0.info `date`
Check what you have put into /etc/syslog.conf - make sure you've used a
TAB and not spaces to separate the selector and action columns. You can
show us your change to syslog.conf, too.
After modifying syslog.conf, you must tell syslogd to re-read the file.
Use "pkill -HUP syslogd" under Solaris <=9, or "svcadm refresh
system-log" on Solaris 10.
In the future, I will probably change the default facility/level used in
pca to something that gets logged by default on a vanilla Solaris system
(and make syslog logging on by default, too).
