Syslog is a user space program, that collects the kernel messages.
So if you don't have /etc/syslog.conf on your system, it likely just
means that you don't have a standard installation of the syslog program,
which can have different reasons. AFAIK, syslog has been replaced by
rsyslog or syslog-ng on modern desktop linux distros.
BTW, Ramesh told you to try /etc/rsyslog.conf (note the 'r'), not
/etc/syslog.conf.
HTH,
