sudo/syslog question


Hi all..

I've been playing around with sudo, 
got past the damned irritating man page for sudoers,
(why do people insist on teaching you russian before telling
you a russian joke, instead of just translating it to english?)
everything is up and running perfectly now, except for logging.

I can't seem to figure out how to make syslog log sudo.*, it tells
me unknown priority. then the readme sez it supports, authpriv, auth,
local4 local5, etc... what the hell does that mean?

I want to log all the sudo stuff in one file (for now), but can't seem
to get anything but errors logged.

if I try

sudo.err		/var/log/sudolog
sudo.crit		/var/log/sudolog
sudo.warning	/var/log/sudolog

it still tells me "unknown priority so-and-so"

also, this is on solaris 8, but normal syslog.

thanks,
Stef.
