Summary:                    Installing syslog_ng package disables default
Solaris syslog service when autoenable_daemons=no
Description: 
While syslog_ng respects the autoenable_daemons=no setting in
/opt/csw/etc/csw.conf 

when you install the syslog_ng package, by default it ALWAYS disables the
Solaris syslog service in the CSWsyslogng/install/preinstall script:
    /usr/sbin/svcadm disable svc:/system/system-log:default
regardless of the autoenable setting.  

This is an issue if you want to install the package for availability over
NFS/non-global-zones, but don't want to automatically disable syslog on the
primary-machine's global-zone and leave the system without any form of
syslog.

Two possible autoenable settings that are applicable here would be:
autoenable_daemons=
autoenable_cswsyslog_ng=

Hopefully the preinstall script can take the autoenable features into
account in /opt/csw/etc/csw.conf
