NET-GURU-SYSLOG-OIDS:

a very simple question for you this time... 
What's the best way to look at system logs ?  I have tried "sa" but 
I must be misusing it or something 'cause I get very useless information
from it.  What file(s) does "syslog" log to ?  How can I *best* view 
this information ?????

I am on a Sun 4/65 (SS1+) BTW


Thanks 
Farooq
