Patch undeprecating LOG_AUTH
Hi!
syslog.3 contains:
.B LOG_AUTH
security/authorization messages (DEPRECATED Use
.B LOG_AUTHPRIV
instead)
.TP
.B LOG_AUTHPRIV
security/authorization messages (private)
However I cannot find any other source that claim LOG_AUTH is deprecated in
anyway. LOG_AUTH is distinct from LOG_AUTHPRIV. The GNU C Library manual only
documents LOG_AUTH. The header files contains both without any comment.
Common systems like Debian appear to refer to both auth and authpriv facilities
in syslog configurations. Popular daemons appear to use both facilities. Both
facilities are discussed in several RFCs.
Thus, I propose attached patch to not say DEPRECATED anymore.
While the patch is trivial, I'm opening a bugzilla bug to track discussions
since there could be other opinions.
