Hi All,
For the last couple of days I get los of replies , my question is :-
I am running solaris 2.5 on Ultra server, my problem is that default

Proposed answer is :-
/usr/lib/newsyslog is invoked by cron periodically and this is responsible
for setting permission for /var/log/syslog file. It is also responsible
for moving old syslog files ( syslog.n n =(0..8))
Thanks for you all who replied.
regards,
Biswajit
