Solaris 10 question on syslog.conf file

Hi,

I have a question on /etc/syslog.conf file in Solaris 10.

Below is a line taken from /etc/syslog.conf file and I know that the last field (operator) is where the logs gets outputted but how do I find out what the output file name format is going to be and which directory it gets outputted to?


Code:
*.alert;kern.err;daemon.err                     operator

Regards,
Steve

operator== A message is sent to the user on the console.

This looks like the default Sun /etc/syslog.conf setting. Consider changing
operator to root,operator,< username you are usually logged on as, hopefully not root>

Another suggestion - the syslog.conf defaults are not generally the best possible. Consider reading up on this at maybe a starter site:
