Under Solaris, there +is no special kernel input device. Instead, both kernel messages as well as +messages emitted via syslog() are received from a single source. +<p>This module obeys the Solaris door() mechanism to detect a running syslogd +instance. As such, only one can be active at one time. If it detects another +active intance at startup, the module disables itself, but rsyslog will +continue to run. +<p><b>Configuration Directives</b>:</p> +<ul> +<li><strong>$IMSolarisLogSocketName <name></strong><br> +This is the name of the log socket (stream) to read.
