The files /var/log/ipsec_{info,debug}.log need to exist before logging
to them (and loaded in by sending SIGHUP to syslog(8)). syslogd(8) will
not try to create the files. From syslogd(8):
The logfiles already have to exist with the correct permissions.
The default syslog.conf doesn't write messages for DAEMON to
/var/log/messages, they should end up in /var/log/daemon. But without
seeing your full syslog.conf I can't say what's going on there.
Hope this helps.
