How to config syslog?

Hi folks,

My SCO Openserver 5.0.5 seems hang on telnet and ping very frequently but I can't trace what the error message come out in the /var/adm/syslog file. When I looked at the /etc/syslog.conf, it only contains one line:
[tt]*.debug /usr/adm/syslog[/tt]
I thought it is not enough to trace errors so I modified it into:
[tt]*.debug;*.notice;*.info /usr/adm/syslog
*.alert;*.crit;*.err /usr/adm/errlog
*.warning /usr/adm/warnlog[/tt]

Then I killed syslogd and run it again and even reboot the box after. But the syslog.conf file looks like not working at all, no new log file created in /var/adm directory (/usr/adm is a soft link to /var/adm) after the telnet hang problem happened again. Should I touch these two new log files before? Does SCO Unix syslog.conf work the same as SUN Solaris one?
