He meant syslog.conf.  The procedure:

- Edit /etc/syslog.conf and uncomment the line that looks like this:

#*.*						/var/log/all.log

- touch /var/log/all.log
- chmod 600 /var/log/all.log
- chown root:wheel /var/log/all.log
- /etc/rc.d/syslogd reload

Going forward you should have a file called /var/log/all.log that
contains literally all syslog data.  newsyslog is already set up on
FreeBSD to automatically rotate this log file at midnight every day,
so there's no need to mess with that piece.
