Unfortunately this will not fix the problem with /var/log/syslog being 666
since the log rotation script /usr/lib/newsyslog explicitly sets the mode
of this file to 666 when rotating it (at least under Solaris 2.5 on x86).

Solaris2.5.1_x86.PatchReport:104614-01   SunOS 5.5.1_x86: /usr/lib/newsyslog patch
Solaris2.5.1.PatchReport:104613-01   SunOS 5.5.1: /usr/lib/newsyslog patch
Solaris2.4.PatchReport:104617-01   SunOS 5.4: /usr/lib/newsyslog patch

These are the patches that are supposed to fix that problem,
for the Solaris revs that I know about.
