I am using Slackware Linux, and in my /etc/syslog.conf I've added this 
near the bottom of the file:

# Synchronet BBS logging - added by Dan C. 2/17/19
local3.*                        -/var/log/sbbs.log

The "3" on the end of the "local" keyword is because I've also changed 
my /sbbs/ctrl/sbbs.ini to have this in the [UNIX] section at the bottom:

; Defaults to using the USER facility.
    LogFacility = 3

The result of these two settings produces my log in /var/log/sbbs.log

Hope that helps!
