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).
