Problem with RT 3.5.7 on Solaris 8

Hello all,

I seem to be having a problem with my install of RT on
Solaris 8. I got this error below, and since I am not
that good with Perl, I can hardly figure it out. Sorry
for the long post.

no connection to syslog available

  • /dev/conslog is not a socket at
    /opt/csw/share/perl/site_perl/Log/Dispatch/Syslog.pm
