The names of the log files (and much more) are configured in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf - since I have some special configuration there, I don't know if /var/log/syslog is the default, but /var/log/messages is a good guess, too. And (from what I have heard) if you use systemd instead of openrc, there are no syslog files at all - you have to export them (from some binary database) manually to some human- readable format. But I don't know much about that - never used systemd on any Gentoo Linux yet. -Matt
