You will probably find that the facility has to be a valid syslog facility.

looking at the 'logger' man page will give you a list of valid facilitys 
(its a bit nicer than reading the syslog man pages :-) )

      Valid facility names are: auth, authpriv (for security information 
of a sensitive nature),
      cron, daemon, ftp, kern, lpr, mail, news, security (deprecated 
synonym for auth), syslog,
      user, uucp, and local0 to local7, inclusive.

It appears that the default Facility is 'user', you may want to check 
this works by reverting to the default and seeing if you see anything in 
your /var/log/messages file, if not then a) ensure you have the perl 
Sys::Syslog installed and h2ph works (from the open.com.au radiator 
reference manual)

I am guessing changing the Facility to something valid will probably fix 
your problem tho :-)

(Also, no idea why they say to use a valid facility supported by syslog 
and then use 'Facility radius' as an example.. Hugh ?)
