The syslogd daemon manages all the logs on your system and coordinates with any of the logging operations of other systems on your network. Configuration information for syslogd is held in the /etc/syslog.conf file, which contains the names and locations for your system log files. Here you find entries for /var/log/messages and /var/log/maillog, among others. Whenever you make changes to the syslog.conf file, you need to restart the syslogd daemon.
