right! "log_from_remote" is set to false, and after setting it to true, 
output is ok
but there is a	problem still:
# svcprop system-log | grep remote
config/log_from_remote boolean false
# svccfg -s svc:/system/system-log setprop config/log_from_remote = true
#  svcadm restart svc:/system/system-log
(as described in the man pages)
# svccfg -s system-log listprop config/log_from_remote
config/log_from_remote  boolean  true

But:
# svcprop system-log | grep remote
config/log_from_remote boolean false
Why does it still display "false"!!?

and about "remote" behaviour i'm using perl's command on the same 
machine, why does it need remote enabled?
and why does it work in os2009.11 out of box? did they change it between 
releases?

very thanks for your help,
