This will make Solaris reject remote logging from other devices.

Syslogd to reject remote logging

syslogd -t will turn on sysloging but it will not receive remote logging from other devices.

Best way to enable is to go to /etc/init.d/syslog and edit the script. Go to line
/usr/sbin/syslogd >/dev/msglog 2>&1 &

and edit it with the -t option to look like:

/usr/sbin/syslogd -t >/dev/msglog 2>&1 &

The start syslogd again and verify with a ps -ef | grep
