So if you don't have /etc/syslog.conf on your system, it likely just
means that you don't have a standard installation of the syslog program,
which can have different reasons. AFAIK, syslog has been replaced by
rsyslog or syslog-ng on modern desktop linux distros.
BTW, Ramesh told you to try /etc/rsyslog.conf (note the 'r'), not
/etc/syslog.conf.

Hi,
Thanks for reply! I found the rsyslog.conf on my system. But
I am finding it hard to configure it. Actually I made some changes but they are not working.
I made some changes to the kernel and wanted that they appear at either the console or
some other file. However the changes don't work.
I tried adding the following lines (one at a time)
kern.* /dev/console
kern.* <file in my home directory>
but on making these changes other kernel messages also stop showing up.
Can you please give me some idea as to why this might happen ?
-Thanks
