[rsyslog] Solaris SMF Manifest

[Jesse Kempf]

Hi,

So I've been working on getting rsyslogd set up on a Solaris platform 
(not as a local syslog replacement, but as the central syslog server for 
a network).

Attached is a patchset which adds a Solaris SMF service manifest 
(rsyslog.xml) and method script (svc-rsyslog).

I'm not sure how exactly to wire this into the install process, so I'll 
describe what needs to get done.

svc-rsyslog needs to be kicked into $PREFIX/etc and be chmod +x.
rsyslog.xml needs the literal string 'PREFIX' replaced with $PREFIX, and 
then passed to svccfg import. Something as simple as 'sed 
"s#PREFIX#$PREFIX#g" < rsyslog.xml | svccfg import -' would do the trick.

The manifest registers rsyslog with SMF under the FMRI 
svc:/network/rsyslog:default. The properties (accessible using svcprop) 
'rsyslog/conf' and 'rsyslog/opts' contain the path to the config file 
and any command-line options for rsyslog respectively.

I've also updated http://wiki.rsyslog.com/index.php/Solaris based on my 
experiences getting rsyslog working on Solaris 10.

All in all, this has been much, MUCH easier than it was when I tried two 
years ago.

Cheers,
-Jesse
