system log files and core files?

Solaris v5.6
What log files should be checked out as part of your sys admin daily routine?
I've printed out my syslog.conf file, and looked in /var/log and found authlog, syslog, and POPlog. I know of /var/adm/messages.
What others should I be looking for?

I know of the "find" command. I want to find core files. How should I search to find a core file? Also, I seen a thread that mentioned you should determine what generated the core file. Any hints on how you would determine what generated the core file would be appreciated.
