Just installed natty, and cannot find /var/log/messages. Also, /var/log/daemon.log is missing. What happened? Why are they no longer present? And where I can find the same log information?

/var/log/messages has been deleted from Natty.

You can find the same info in /var/log/syslog. Note that everything logged to messages was also logged to syslog.
