[tac_plus] Question about logging with tac_plus

[Cosmin Neagu]

Yes, that is exactly what i want to achieve

I found this in the man pages (nothing about a -l option)

" logging
               Specifies the syslog(3) facility used.  By default, logs 
are posted to the daemon facility.

                   logging = <syslog_fac> "

I tried to enter the following in tac_plus.conf:

logging = syslog_facility        //it gives: tac_plus[7181]: Error 
expecting syslog facility on line 7, got syslog_facility

I read about sysylog facilities and it seems to be a number meaning 
something
logging = 10                        //it gives tac_plus[7393]: Error 
expecting syslog facility on line 7, got 10

logging = syslog        //does not give anymore error when starting but 
no logs apear in
/var/log/syslog or /var/log/tac_plus.log

Can you help me this or point me to some documentation about how to do 
this logging?
