Hi !!!

I like the newsyslog of FreeBSD very much that I want to install
it in Solaris 2.5. Solaris 2.5 has a newsyslog but I am not quite
satisfied with its performance.

Is this possible? What are the steps that I have to do if it is
possible?

So far what I did is to upload the source of FreeBSD's newsyslog
and include files to Solaris 2.5 and try to compile from there.
Now, my problem is to get rid of the warnings and an error. Most
of them are conflicts in redefinitions and one of them is a parse
error.

Would I be making progress here ?

Thank you very much.
