Which "SunOS system logs" in particular? I suppose you could mean
/var/adm/messages as this is the one the syslogd daemon writes to, but
really your question is too open-ended for a precise answer.

Other logs are /var/adm/acct/sum/loginlog, /var/adm/sulog and even
/var/apache/logs/access_log, /var/cron/log and such exotic things as
/opt/MYSQL/data/`hostname`.err (to name but a few).  Many applications
wriet their own logfiles in other words, and different bits of the OS
write different things to different logs.

As for which one "has more information", what do you mean?

I see from your email address you may be more familiar with AIX - that 
too will, I'd guess, have more than one log with more than one purpose!
