Hi Mike,

I had not doubt that your patched Radiator would work with Sun's 
syslogd in it's default configuration (ie. which allows reception 
of syslog packets on the UDP socket).

Most of my post was concerning the fact that those Solaris sites 
that configure syslogd not to accept messages on internet sockets 
would still encounter a problem. And that one solution to that 
problem was to use Unix::Syslog instead of perl's Sys::Syslog.

You can test the non networked syslogd configuration by starting
syslogd with the "-t" option, or in Solaris > 9, by inserting
"LOG_FROM_REMOTE=NO" in /etc/default/syslogd. Although, I haven't
tried perl 5.8.5 yet (we are running 5.8.2).
