Dear People:
I have the following problem:
The file /var/adm/messages is 0 bytes, is empty.
But I see that there are error messages that appear in the console window, I
do not know why the file messages does not record these messages. How can I
do that the file /var/adm/messages works fine again?
Thaks to:

The solution is:
You must have the entry in the /etc/syslog.conf like this.
kern.debug /var/adm/messages
and after you add the entry , you must restart the syslog daemon.
/sbin/init.d/syslog stop
/sbin/init.d/syslog start
