okay, the issues seems to have been an incorrect ACL entry that debared access.

now /var/log/messages has being filled with information from the firewall.

however, one issue still remains, the logs are all being sent to /var/log/messages and not the other locations.

i did the following to allow the logs to be directed to other files. in my /etc/syslog.conf file i have this entry:

# external hosts (router and firewall)
!router
local7.* /var/log/router-logs
local7.alert /var/log/router-logs
local7.crit /var/log/router-logs
local7.debug /var/log/router-logs
local7.emerg /var/log/router-logs
local7.err /var/log/router-logs
local7.info /var/log/router-logs
local7.notice /var/log/router-logs
local7.warn /var/log/router-logs

i made the files ahead of time by doing a "touch router-logs"

i've scoured the man pages which are a really poor source for this information because they don't tell me how to do what i want to do here. your link about the solaris system was somewhat better, and i found something on cisco's site.

i really don't think what i've done is right because the file isn't being populated by anything.
