 Yes.
 
+I don't see info messages in syslog on OpenBSD
+----------------------------------------------
+
+OpenBSD uses *notice* level of message information in its default
+[syslog.conf](http://man.openbsd.org/syslog.conf) which has a higher priority
+than *info*. Therefore, you need to adjust the syslog configuration file to
+enable *info* level.
+
+If you want to simply change notice to info, change */etc/syslog.conf* like
+this:
+
+```
+-*.notice;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,mail,user.none	/var/log/messages
++*.info;auth,authpriv,cron,ftp,kern,lpr,mail,user.none	/var/log/messages
+```
+
 Why plugins are not loaded per server?
