I don't think the problem is caused by syslogd. I have an entry
daemon.*      /var/log/daemon.log
*.*           /var/log/all
and in ircd sources in file config.h the facility is defined
#define LOG_FACILITY LOG_DAEMON

So ircd logs should be written to both files: /var/log/daemon.log and
/var/log/all I suppose.
