Doesn't look like it's _quite_ that simple. The syslogging is done in
base/logging.c in the write_to_syslog function. The code specifies the
log levels (USER and INFO), but does not specify the facility to use,
relying on the default syslog facility to catch it. From man 3 syslog,
an openlog call needs to be added to specify the log facility to use for
subsequent syslog() calls.
