To be sincere, I'm still unsure about what log file holds what information. In openSUSE, the main log was "/var/log/messages" and you had to look there to see the most relevant information, but here (Debian) seems to be "/var/log/syslog". Then there are additional small files for authentication, user and other stuff I never remember which is disseminated into small registries files.
Take a look at /etc/rsyslog.conf and man rsyslog.conf rsyslogd All your questions will be answered (albeit cryptically) there. Enjoy! Rick
