    Hello everyone,

    I'm working on a Security program for a large infrastructure.
    I have to deal with Sun Solaris, and I was wondering why I should
    consider logging via BSM and not syslog.
    System admins have a good knowledge of syslog, and I can standardize
    logging in different UNIX OSes easily if I use it.
    Is there some breaking feature which could make me prefer BSM?
    Is there a reason to use syslog and BSM?

    Thanks in advance,
    G0k
