LogMatrix NerveCenter Installation for Solaris 10

Abstract: This documents a basic installation of NerveCenter from LogMatrix on a Solaris 10 server. Initially I tried to add the web-based administration as well but the documentation only gave instructions on using it with Apache 1.x. As I lack the proficiency to work with Apache 1.x, don't want to add security flaws associated with it, and wasn't sure what workarounds were required to get Apache 2 integration, I skipped that step (the 'w' option).
