Hi Guru's:

I just recieved a T2000 and noticed that the syslogd is using about 10 of cpu. Here is extract from prstat.
# prstat -a
PID USERNAME SIZE RSS STATE PRI NICE TIME CPU PROCESS/NLWP
307 root 15M 13M cpu30 0 0 135:23:34 9.4% syslogd/14

The messages file is growing. Here is size
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6663681081 Jun 16 17:13 messages
I notice this message repeating itself. specially the timestamp is not changing. It is alway 14:48:39.

KSH#uname -a
SunOS xxx 5.10 Generic_118833-03 sun4v sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-T200
The server is 1 cpu @1GHz, 8-core with 8GB RAM.
I have opened a case with Sun. But I would like to know if some has experienced this before on T2000. I shall update for benfit of all.
