It depends what syslog package you have installed ;-). There seems to
be a lot of people who like to program their own syslog daeomon and
Ubuntu happily installs them as default when they are available ;-).

Just do a

dpkg -l \*sys\*log\* | grep ^ii

then you see what syslog package ist installed.

Or do a

ps auwwwx | grep ".*sys.*log.*"

then you see which syslog is running. On my desktop machine I am
sitting now in front of has rsyslogd installed and the config is
/etc/rsyslog.conf. But this can be different for you!
It is one of my favourits to find out which syslog daemon Ubuntu uses
in the latest version...


Bye,
