    Start with:

    man syslogd

    and go from there.

    Or are you saying that /etc/syslog.conf is not there.

    If it is there, it should be able to tell you where all the log files are. If it’s not there, you need to find out how syslogd was run, either:

    • by looking at its entry from ps; or
    • looking at the /etc/rc.d entry that started it.
