[Openvpn-devel] syslog facility config choice

[P Kern]

Hello.

It would be useful if the syslog facility could be optionally set to
something other than LOG_DAEMON.  There are too many things logging
to LOG_DAEMON, already.  Something like what's included below would be
great. Then "LOG_OPENVPN" (or whatever) could be chosen at config time.
(eg. local6.* is idle here so I used "-DLOG_OPENVPN=LOG_LOCAL6").

Thanks in advance.
