descendant_command is right...

Put it this way, any prog/daemon that doesn't have its own log writes to messages (in some cases this will happen as a backup option if the reqd dir is not available).
Strictly speaking some other logs are shared as well ... see eg http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/08/...var-log-files/
