From what I can see on Solaris servers that I have access to, /var/log/syslog is used to log mail related messages. For system messages /var/adm/messages is used.

The /var/adm/messages in Solaris seem to log more system messages/errors compared to /var/log/messages in Linux.
I checked the log level in Linux and they seem OK.
Is there any other log file that contains the messages or is it just that Linux doesn't log great many things? (2 Replies)

oplhpd
oplhpd(1M) System Administration Commands oplhpd(1M)
NAME
oplhpd - Hot plug daemon for SPARC Enterprise Server line
SYNOPSIS
/usr/platform/SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise/lib/sparcv9/lib/oplhpd
DESCRIPTION
The hot plug daemon for SPARC Enterprise Servers is a daemon process that runs on the SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise family of servers. The daemon
is started by the service management facility (see smf(5)) and communicates with the service processor when hot plug PCI cassettes change
their dynamic reconfiguration state.
The service FMRI for oplhpd is:
svc:/platform/sun4u/oplhpd:default
A domain supports only one running oplhpd process at a time.
ERRORS
OPLHPD uses syslog(3C) to report status and error messages. All of the messages are logged with the LOG_DAEMON facility.
Error messages are logged with the LOG_ERR and LOG_NOTICE priorities, and informational messages are logged with the LOG_DEBUG priority.
The default entries in the /etc/syslog.conf file log all of the OPLHPD error messages to the /var/adm/messages log.
