Syslog.conf: looking for a simple answer on a simple question

Cheers! In /etc/syslog.conf, if an error type is not specified, is it logged anywhere (most preferable is it logged to /var/log/messages) or not? To be more precise I am interested in error and critical level messages. At default these errors are not specified in syslog.conf, and I need to...

UNDOCUMENTED(7) 					     Linux Programmer's Manual						   UNDOCUMENTED(7)

NAME

       undocumented - No manpage for this program, utility or function.

DESCRIPTION

       This  program,  utility	or function does not have a useful manpage.  Before opening a bug to report this, please check with the Debian Bug
       Tracking System (BTS) at <http://bugs.debian.org/> if a bug has already been reported.  If not, you can submit a wishlist bug if you want.

       If you are a competent and accurate writer and are willing to spend the time reading the source code and writing good manpages please write
       a  better  man page than this one.  Please contact the package maintainer and copy man-pages@qa.debian.org in order to avoid several people
       working on the same manpage.

       Even if you are not an accurate writer, your input may be helpful.  Writing manual pages is quite easy, the format is described in  man(7).
       The most important and time-consuming task is to collect the information to be put in the new manpage.

DIAGNOSTICS

       It  is  possible  that  the man page for the command you specified is installed and that your manual page index caches are out of sync. You
       should try running mandb(8).

       Try the following options if you want more information:

       foo --help, foo -h, foo -?

       info foo

       whatis foo, apropos foo

       dpkg --listfiles foo, dpkg --search foo

       locate '*foo*'

       find / -name '*foo*'

       Additionally, check the directories /usr/share/doc/foo, /usr/lib/foo.

       The documentation might be in a package starting with the same name as the package the software belongs to, but ending with -doc or -docs.

       If you still didn't find the information you are looking for you might consider posting a call for help to debian-user@lists.debian.org.
