Comment:

There are nothing logged in the /var/adm/messages. I checked the /etc/syslog.conf and copied a working syslog.conf from another Solaris box over, then kill -HUP pid_of_syslog
No luck.

I think about reinstall the syslog package. How can I find out which package contains syslog to install?

Thank you

Try this:

/etc/init.d/syslog stop
/etc/init.d/syslog start

Test it:
logger -p err "Test message `date`"
