>Description:
After much toiling, it appears that syslogd is not operating according
to what it should be.

After compiling QPOPPER (beta1) and configuring it to use LOG_LOCAL2
as the facility, entering local2.* /var/log/pop.log in the syslog.conf,
and running syslogd in debug mode, it still fails.  The command to log
is being received, but initially it was going to USERS.  This is wrong,
and I've see this happen in other versions of syslog.

Presently, I can not locate any errors in compilation on my part, as
other things appear to be working well.  Just facility LOCAL* isn't
working.
>How-To-Repeat:
Pass a call to openlog (in QPOPPER's case pop_log) and use the facility
LOG_LOCAL2 (or redefine it in popper.h). Compile, run syslogd in debug
mode, walla.  No log.
>Fix:
Unknown.  But I'll continue to track it down.
