Running syslog with the -t option in Solaris 10

Question

I'm trying to get syslog to run with the -t option in solaris 10
I've ran the following commands
svccfg -s svc:/system/system-log setprop config/log_from_remote = false
svcadm refresh svc:/system/system-log
But ps -ef still shows
root 9479 1 1 15:56:58 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/syslogd
Any ideas, i'm hoping that although -t doesn't appear the fact svcprop shows it as false should mean it's working, can anyone confirm?
svcprop svc:/system/system-log:default |grep log
config/log_from_remote boolean false
Thanks

Excellent stuff, i'm still a bit confussed, can you just confirm something for me.
In the syslogd man page it says this
svc:/system/system-log/config/log_from_remote
This property specifies whether remote messages are logged.
log_from_remote=true is equivalent to the -t command-line
option and false is equivalent to the -T command-line
option. The default value for -log_from_remote is true. See
NOTES, below.
but -t in the man page says this
-t Disable the syslogd UDP port to turn
off logging of remote messages. See
FILES.
So the man page says it needs to be true, you're saying it should be false can you just confirm the man page is wrong.
I'm seeing this with netstat
skippy> netstat -nafinet|grep 514
*.514 *.* 0 0 49152 0 LISTEN
config/log_from_remote boolean true
