Hello,
I need information on the system log file /usr/adm/messages.  I need
information on what processes write to this file, what kinds of errors can
be listed in there, etc.  Any information about where I can find more info
about the log file (manuals, tech docs from Next, etc) is appreciated.

Check the man pages on syslogd(8) and syslog(3).
