I thought my post on launchpad would be referenced by this bug report
but I guess not.
When installing (or upgrading) to 11.04 syslogd is upgraded to rsyslog.
This uses the file /etc/rsyslog.conf which references the file
configuration /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf.
You can edit this file and change the lines commented out that create
the relevant logfile
#*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
# auth,authpriv.none;\
# cron,daemon.none;\
# mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
to
*.=info;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
and then restart rsyslog or reboot
Note: As rsyslog is referencing the directory /etc/rsyslog.d/ you could
just put a new file in that location that would be included in the
configuration so as not to fall foul of an ubuntu upgrade at a later
date. The choice is yours.
