If something was appending to the /usr/bin/logger binary, you might want to
check your various scripts for code that does:

     ....... > /usr/bin/logger

instead of:

     ..... | /usr/bin/logger

Yes... /bin/logger is a binary...

I seem to have figured out the issue, fping was being run as root by xymon,
so I did the following :

so I removed the sticky bit from user and group on /usr/local/sbin/fping

then I did the following and restarted xymon

add in : /etc/security/exec_attr
Network Management:solaris:cmd:::/usr/local/sbin/fping:privs=net_icmpaccess

add in : /etc/user_attr
xymon::::defaultpriv=basic,net_icmpaccess
