Hello all,
  I am experimenting with adding facilities to my syslog.conf file and
noticed that cron and "megasafe" are defined in /usr/include/sys/syslog_pri.h
but when I add them to my syslog.conf I get a facility not defined error
when the logs rotate. Are they really defined? If not, how do I get
cron to log what it does? Thanks for your help.

Here are some lines from /usr/include/sys/syslog_pri.h:

#define LOG_NEWS (7<<3) /* network news subsystem */
#define LOG_UUCP (8<<3) /* UUCP subsystem */
#define LOG_CRON (9<<3) /* clock daemon */
#define LOG_MEGASAFE (10<<3) /* POLYCENTER ADVfs */
        /* other codes through 15 reserved for system use *
