Dude, it's not syslog-ng.
Read the man pages, for example "man lastb" says:
NOTES
The files wtmp and btmp might not be found. The system only logs
information in these files if they are present. This is a local
configuration issue. If you want the files to be used, they
can be created with a simple touch(1) command (for example, touch
/var/log/wtmp).
These are also clues (in the same man page):
