No. I have gone through that file many times and nothing has changed in it. Here is the output of that file:

# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
#*.info;cron.none;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none     /var/log/messages
*.info;cron.none;mail.none;news.none;authpriv.none      /var/log/messages

# The authpriv file has restricted access.
#authpriv.*                                              /var/log/secure
authpriv.*                                              /var/log/secure

# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.*                                                  /var/log/maillog

# Log cron stuff
cron.*                                                  /var/log/cron

# Everybody gets emergency messages, plus log them on another # machine.

*.emerg                                                 *

# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.*                                                /var/log/boot

# Log all mail notices
