Hi Todd,

Have you changed the default syslog facility in 1.7.4?
I used the same configure option in 1.7.3 and 1.7.4 but the facility 
changed to local2 to authpriv



==> /usr/local/sudo-1.7.4/bin/sudo -V |egrep "(Sudo version|Configure 
args|Syslog facility)"
Sudo version 1.7.4
Configure args: --prefix=/usr/local/sudo-1.7.4 --sysconfdir=/etc 
--disable-zlib
Syslog facility if syslog is being used for logging: authpriv

==> /usr/local/sudo-1.7.3/bin/sudo -V |egrep "(Sudo version|Configure 
args|Syslog facility)"
Sudo version 1.7.3
Configure args: --prefix=/usr/local/sudo-1.7.3 --sysconfdir=/etc 
--disable-zlib
Syslog facility if syslog is being used for logging: local2


If it's intended, can you fix the man pages if it's not already done and 
update http://www.sudo.ws/sudo/sudoers.man.html ?
If it's not intended, do you plan to roll it back in the next release or 
keep it as it anyway?
