Summary:                    cswsyslog-ng is not zone friendly - syslog.ctl file
is on inherited & read only filesystem
Description: 
the statistics control file is configured to be stored at
/opt/csw/var/syslog.ctl.
on non-global zones this is a read only filesystem.

It should be stored at /var/opt/csw/syslog.ctl

After recompiling syslog-ng with the correct localstatedir setting, these
are the defaults:

Application Options:
  -f, --cfgfile=<config>                                     Set config
file name, default=/etc/opt/csw/syslog-ng.conf
  -R, --persist-file=<fname>                                 Set the name
of the persistent configuration file,
default=/var/opt/csw/syslog-ng.persist

Are you sure the .ctl file is the right one? There's also the question of
which version of syslog-ng you're using. For now, I'll try to stick with
the syslog-ng default and let syslog-ng use /var/opt/csw/syslog-ng.persist
(as opposed to /var/opt/csw/syslog-ng.ctl).

The updated package is in OpenCSW testing catalog.
