NOTES
In the current version of Solaris, /dev/msglog is an alias for
/dev/sysmsg. In future versions of Solaris, writes to /dev/msglog may
be directed into a more general logging mechanism such as syslogd(1M).
syslog(3C) provides a more general logging mechanism than /dev/msglog
and should be used in preference to /dev/msglog whenever possible.
