The names of the log files (and much more) are configured in
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf - since I have some special
configuration there, I don't know if /var/log/syslog is the
default, but /var/log/messages is a good guess, too.
And (from what I have heard) if you use systemd instead of
openrc, there are no syslog files at all - you have to export
them (from some binary database) manually to some human-
readable format. But I don't know much about that - never
used systemd on any Gentoo Linux yet.
