I've using syslog-ng on Gentoo for well over ten years and it's always
defaulted to /var/log/messages in that time. Othe

One little corner case; if you're running systemd 216 and syslog-ng <3.6,
you need to add ForwardToSyslog=yes to /etc/systemd/journald.conf. With
systemd 215 and earlier, messages are forwarded to syslog by default, and
syslog-ng 3.6 is journald aware.
