[syslog-ng] facility 'security'

[Jan Schaumann]

Hello,

It appears that syslog-ng does not correctly identify the 'security'
facility:

$ logger -p security.info oink

yields:

Aug 25 10:46:43 <d.info> syslog1 oink

Note the false facility "d".

In src/syslog-names.c, the mapping for 'security' is done thusly:

{"security", LOG_AUTH},    /* DEPRECATED */

FreeBSD, however, appears to still use LOG_SECURITY, which leads to
syslog-ng falsely categorizing the incoming messages.  I'd be able to
deal with this if it actually did fall back to LOG_AUTH, but for some
reason it shows up as facility "d" (which seems like a string comparison
gone awry).
