According to the help busybox syslogd -h it means that this version of syslogd ignores /etc/syslog.conf. Instead the file /etc/syslog.conf is used by the startup script /etc/init.d/syslog. If the parameter DESTINATION is = "buffer", then the parameter LOGFILE is not used. If you want to make changes, e.g. set MARKINT (MARK interval in minutes) from 20 to 60 minutes, make the change in /etc/syslog.conf and type as root: /etc/init.d/syslog stop; /etc/init.d/syslog start. With ps you can see which parameters are used:

For example, if you want to log if Python is running type:

If you want to use your NSLU2 with SlugOS/BE and a Memstick only as mass storage, the turnup script for setting up your operating system configures syslog to use a RAM-buffer instead of the file system (/var/log/messages). Please see /etc/syslog.conf DESTINATION="buffer". The commands to use syslog are in the busybox.
