You said you had DEFAULT install.  Here's the exact quote:

Me: "Is this a default syslog config or has it been modified to maybe
redirect to a logging box?"

You: "No, logging box -- everything as far as syslog and messages is 
default."

Redirecting all logging to a different level is not default.

The point is if you would have ran the command and seen that the config 
file had changed you could have looked into it and saw that there was 
something messed up.
