Going along with Cokey's prescription to first verify messages are
being logged at all  Use a common trick to capture absolutely
everthing ... it may even be commented out in a stock syslog.conf

*.debug                  /var/log/debug  

/var/log/debug will get everthing.   To quieten it down  a sconce you
could use:
*.debug;mail.none;news.none                  /var/log/debug

(leaving out mail and news messages.)

Remember to (as root) `touch /var/log/debug'

and `service syslog restart' before any messages will come there.
