"unknown priority name *" in syslog.conf

Environment: SunOS 5.8 <node> Generic_117350-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250

Trying to modify syslog.conf for sudo logging.
Added the line:"local2.* /var/adm/mesages" (whitespace is <TAB>).
This should cause all "local2" messages to log to /var/adm/messages.
When I HUP the syslogd daemon it posts to the console "syslogd: line 32:
unknown priority name "*" "

This used to work. Was something changed in the latest Required_8
patchkit?
Yes, it does work if I explicitly specify local2.info, local2.notify, etc.
but that is a lot of typing (potential for typos the way I type).
