Configuring syslog.conf for custom facilities.

Hi,

Is it possible to configure the Mac OS X syslogd for custom facilities? (Specifically Tiger)

I've tried doing the following:

radius.* /var/log/ radiator/authlog/syslog.log

My tests with "logger" fail:  'logger -p radius.info test'

logger: unknown facility name: radius.

I've been digging through the archives for an answer to this question, but I haven't had much luck with this specific problem.

From the syslog.conf manpage:

The facility describes the part of the system generating the message, and is one of the following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark, news, syslog, user, uucp and local0 through local7.

Does this mean that custom logs using other keywords for the facility name aren't allowed?

I've double checked the following:

I'm using tabs, not spaces, in the facility line.
I've HUP'd the syslogd server.
The file exists and has correct permissions.

Is it possible to do what I want on Mac OS X 10.4?

Thanks,

- Terry
