How do I make activities appear in SYSLOG file?

SUSE Linux 11 and 10 SP3.

I am trying to capture some of my activities in SYSLOG file, /var/log/messages.

To do this I created and dropped some test files and directories and users. But these activities are not captured in /var/log/messages. What should I do to make these activities appear in /var/log/messages file?


I see /var/log/audit/audit.log file in /etc/audit/auditd.conf
Is /var/log/audit/audit.log file another SYSLOG file?

I don't see my activities in both /var/log/messages and /var/log/audit/audit.log files.

Thank you,
