    1: # This is a sample syslog.conf fragment for use with Sudo.
    2: #
    3: # By default, sudo logs to "authpriv" if your system supports it, else it
    4: # uses "auth".  The facility can be set via the --with-logfac configure
    5: # option or in the sudoers file.
    6: # To see what syslog facility a sudo binary uses, run `sudo -V' as *root*.
    7: #
    8: # NOTES:
    9: #	The whitespace in the following line is made up of <TAB>
   10: #       characters, *not* spaces.  You cannot just cut and paste!
   11: #
   12: #	If you edit syslog.conf you need to send syslogd a HUP signal.
   13: #	Ie: kill -HUP process_id
   14: #
   15: #	Syslogd will not create new log files for you, you must first
   16: #	create the file before syslogd will log to it.  Eg.
   17: #	'touch /var/log/sudo'
   18: 
   19: # This logs successful and failed sudo attempts to the file /var/log/auth
   20: # If your system has the authpriv syslog facility, use authpriv.debug
   21: auth.debug					/var/log/auth
   22: 
   23: # To log to a remote machine, use something like the following,
   24: # where "loghost" is the name of the remote machine.
   25: # If your system has the authpriv syslog facility, use authpriv.debug
   26: auth.debug					@loghost
