Hi Ben,
After syslogd(8) manual page:
CAVEATS
syslogd does not create files, it only logs to existing ones.
So, in general, after you make your changes to syslog.conf(5), i.e.:
# install -m 0600 /dev/null /var/log/doas && rcctl reload syslogd
Also, don't forget about newsyslog(8)!
BTW, in case you aren't aware, doas usage is already logged into
/var/log/secure.
Regards,
Raf
