NOTES
       In  the	current	 version  of  Solaris,	/dev/msglog  is	 an  alias for
       /dev/sysmsg.  In future versions of Solaris, writes to /dev/msglog  may
       be directed into a  more general logging mechanism such as syslogd(1M).

       syslog(3C)  provides a more general logging mechanism  than /dev/msglog
       and should be used in preference to /dev/msglog whenever possible.
