I tried to move my stuff from CentOS to Ubuntu. Here is a problem I met: I would like find the corresponding CentOS /etc/syslog.conf file in Ubuntu? Basically, the file is used to control where those syslog files go?

Ubuntu uses rsyslog, config files are rsyslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.d/*

Minor addition:

Ubuntu uses rsyslog.conf (5) configuration file and the daemon is rsyslogd (8) is a rocket-fast system for log processing.

Rsyslog.conf is backward-compatible with syslogd's syslog.conf file. So if you migrate from syslogd you can rename it and it should work.
