[syslog-ng] logging of auth-priv

[Bill Nash]

This is kind of a silly question, but did you bounce the syslogd after you 
made that config change? Assuming you're sending this to a syslog-ng 
daemon as a central collection source, where is the syslog-ng daemon 
configured to place logs for that facility/severity combination?
