Originally topic starter wanted to put the AUTH facility into the config.
It could be that it's the only one, together with DAEMON, that make sense
there. From other side, for completeness it may be feasible to add full set
of:

static const CODE facilitynames[] = {
        { "auth",       LOG_AUTH,       },
        { "cron",       LOG_CRON,       },
        { "daemon",     LOG_DAEMON,     },
        { "ftp",        LOG_FTP,        },
        { "kern",       LOG_KERN,       },
        { "lpr",        LOG_LPR,        },
        { "mail",       LOG_MAIL,       },
        { "news",       LOG_NEWS,       },
        { "ntp",        LOG_NTP,        },
        { "security",   LOG_SECURITY,   },
        { "syslog",     LOG_SYSLOG,     },
        { "user",       LOG_USER,       },
        { "uucp",       LOG_UUCP,       },
        { "local0",     LOG_LOCAL0,     },
        { "local1",     LOG_LOCAL1,     },
        { "local2",     LOG_LOCAL2,     },
        { "local3",     LOG_LOCAL3,     },
        { "local4",     LOG_LOCAL4,     },
        { "local5",     LOG_LOCAL5,     },
        { "local6",     LOG_LOCAL6,     },
        { "local7",     LOG_LOCAL7,     },
        { NULL,         -1,             }
};

I've explicitly removed LOG_AUTHPRIV from this list.

With regards,
Timur.
