You have misconfigured syslog.conf remove the "-" before the leading
directory slash.
The standardly installed syslog.conf looks like the following and is normaly
enough to record all "major events" Take a "good" note about the "warn"
option, i can tell you from experiance it means what it says.
# /etc/syslog.conf
# For info about the format of this file, see "man syslog.conf" (the BSD man
# page), and /usr/doc/sysklogd/README.linux.
#
*.=info;*.=notice /usr/adm/messages
*.=debug /usr/adm/debug
# We don't log messages of level 'warn'. Why? Because if you're running
# a news site (with INN), each and every article processed generates a
# warning and a disk access. This slows news processing to a crawl.
# If you want to log warnings, you'll need to uncomment this line:
#*.warn /usr/adm/syslog
*.err /usr/adm/syslog
#
# This might work instead to log on a remote host:
# * @hostname
> # /etc/syslog.conf - Configuration file for syslogd(8)
