(RADIATOR) Problem with AuthLog SYSLOG - ERR: Error while doing AuthLog SYSLOG: syslog: invalid level/facility: radius at Radius/AuthLogSYSLOG.pm line 110

[Hugh Irvine]

Hi Terry -

I notice that the "-r" parameter is not defined for syslogd on MacOS  
X - however there is a "-u" parameter that appears to do the same thing.

regards

Hugh
