hope i am not making too much generalizations and apologize to others
if this seems too mundane and superfluous (which it is).


a super concentrated dose of syslog* man pages:


when you see two things like above, it means that the software
provides logging facility for those particular "facility" and
"level"; in this case, facility is "auth" & level is "info".

in order to save record logs, then one has to specify level w/
facility along w/ log file in the syslogd config file...

<facility>.<level>   <file>

...or, to be specific...

auth.info        file


...for true enlightenment consult man pages for syslogd(8),
syslog.conf(5), and syslog(3) ... may be even logger(1).
