Try installing those two lines in your syslog.conf(5) file and make
sure you use TAB instead of spaces.

!fw
*.*                         /var/log/sonic.log

Then issue a `sudo touch /var/log/sonic.log` as the file must exist
before syslogd(8) can write to it (i.e. syslogd(8) does not create
files).

After this run `sudo /etc/rc.d/syslogd restart` to instruct syslogd(8)
of the changes you've made to syslog.conf(5).

Finally, make sure you edit newsyslog.conf(5) with something like this
to keep your /var file system from filling up.

/var/log/sonic.log        www:wheel 640  7     100  *   J

man newsyslog.conf for more on newsyslog.conf(5)'s syntax.

Cheers,

David
