Pete,
 
I appears that hupsyslog is not suid root, ie..

% ls -l hupsyslog

-rwsr-xr-x   1 root     ustaff     22296 Oct  8 11:28 ../bin/hupsyslog

both rpc.ldmd and hupsyslog must be suid root, to change one must be root:

% chown root hupsyslog
% chmod u+srwx,g+rwx,o+rx hupsyslog

The only other thing I can think of is that syslog died, look at:

% ps -eaf | grep syslogd

to see if it's running, if not restart syslogd. I think solaris 2.5 and
2.6 had problems with syslog. It wasn't fixed until 2.7
