Syslog configuration in Ubuntu is usually in /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

This, btw. is the setup i like to use:

auth,authpriv.*                                         /var/log/auth.log

cron.*                                                  /var/log/cron.log

mail.=info,mail.=notice                                 -/var/log/mail.info

mail.warning                                            /var/log/mail.err

kern.*                                                  -/var/log/kern.log

*.*;mail,kern,cron,auth,authpriv.none                   -/var/log/syslog



# all warnings except auth into one file

*.warning;auth,authpriv.none                            /var/log/error.log



# Emergencies are sent to everybody logged in.

*.emerg                         *

There are syslog alternatives, primarily rsyslog. Lucid (10.04) uses rsyslog, so you'll need to look at /etc/rsyslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.d. I'm not sure what Precise (12.04) uses off-hand.
