I'm posting the message below again, as I had no response. (and http://code.google.com/p/vim/source/browse/runtime/filetype.vim is still not patched).
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mathieu Parent <[email protected]> Date: 2011/1/14 Subject: [PATCH] More log files handling To: [email protected] Hi, I just discovered the "messages" syntax highlighter. It was well hidden because in Debian, the main syslog file is /var/log/syslog. See attached patch, which solves that and add a few more common syslog files.
