man syslogd:
For security reasons, syslogd will not append to log files that do not
exist; therefore, they must be created manually before running syslogd.
So the easiest way is:
touch `cat /etc/syslog.conf | awk '{ print $2}' | grep var`
and restart syslogd:
kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`

You're not logging anything.
