FWIW, long ago, I set one of mine up as:
*.err;authpriv.none /dev/console
*.notice;auth.info;kern.debug;security.none;local0.none;authpriv.none /var/log/messages
security.*;local0.*;authpriv.* /var/log/security
I must have been thinking the same thing Yar does WRT authpriv and
/var/log/messages.
Note that I also added local0, for ipmon(8); is it too late to
consider this hack as well as Yar's?
