Syslog facility in Linux

Hi !

While browsing Linux manpages (man 3 syslog) I noticed that the manual
says that the LOG_AUTH facility is deprecated use LOG_AUTHPRIV instead.

Is there a good reason why OpenSSH doesn't have an option to use
LOG_AUTHPRIV facility ? (Looks like that tcpd/telnet etc. use the AUTHPRIV
facility (in RH6.2)).

Shouldn't be too hard to add the AUTH_PRIV facility ?

Cheers,
-Jarno
