# 1

check /etc/syslog.conf and "pgrep syslogd"

You could also verify that you have some contents in /etc/syslog.conf and test your syslog by running the 'logger' command:

logger -p daemon.notice "testing testing"

.. after all its possible that nothing is being written to /var/adm/messages because everything is working correctly, logger is your friend.
