Perhaps Sun compiles their syslog differently? The fact is that it is different...it's not Solaris, it's Red Hat or Fedora Core. I'm an AIX admin by trade, and a Linux admin by hobby. Both do things differently. I don't complain that one does things differently than the other. I make note of the differences, and then I work with/around them.
