I recently got zyxomma back up with a new SSD, which contains /var/, /crypt/,
and /usr/obj/, which were on a failing hard disk. I can again access my
private Git repos. Mail is being delivered to and sent from the box; I am
again getting daily run output messages. But there are no mail logs. The /var/
log directory looks like this:

Where should I look for what's wrong? All of /etc/ is on the old SSD and is
intact.
If dfly syslog is like NetBSD's then the log file need to be manually created
with the correct user permissions first.
syslog will never create the log file directly.
