I disagree, if the file was re-created.

Actually, I find it weird and counter intuitive that syslogd will not
log to the files in the config file (/etc/syslog.conf) unless they
already exists.  It really feels like we are living with a programming
bug 25 years later....

If I didn't want syslogd to log something, I would not have it in
syslog.conf.
