(RADIATOR) Global SYSLOG logger

[Hugh Irvine]

Hello Matthew -

As was suggested by Steve on the mailing list, I suggest you first  
try with one of the "standard" facilities.

I seem to remember having trouble with this in the past - it depends  
on what platform and what version of SYSLOG you are using.

I think I ended up using "local7", but you will need to do some  
experiments.

You can also have a look at the source code in "Radius/LogSYSLOG.pm".

regards

Hugh
