re: CVS commit: basesrc/usr.sbin/user



   
   Log Message:
   Use syslog(3) to log new users and groups, deletions of users and groups,
   and modification of user and group information.
   
   Syslog priority is LOG_INFO, facility is LOG_USER (there is no need to
   do this via LOG_AUTH, since the password and group files are world
   readable).
   
   Suggested by Hubert Feyrer, after a similar facility in Linux.


LOG_USER seems very wrong for this to me (syslog(3)):

     LOG_USER      Messages generated by random user processes.  This is the
                   default facility identifier if none is specified.

this seems more like LOG_AUTH stuff to me.
