sudo and sylogd logging

I think sudo logs at facility local2 by default.
If AIX has "logger" you can check that your syslog.conf
file is doing what you want with something like

	logger -p local2.err Where does this message go\?

and see if that message shows up in any of the files
mentioned in /etc/syslog.conf.

Well, if /var/adm/sudolog is empty, but you see messages
showing up in other files like /var/adm/messages or wherever,
then I think you've got the "syslogd is picky as hell about
whitespace" problem.  Be sure there are no spaces in the *.* line.
Use tab characters instead.
