What does Linux use to produce and maintain log files? Where do you configure it?
syslogd - otherwise known as the syslog daemon.
The syslogd daemon handles messages from servers and other user-mode programs. It’s usually paired with a daemon called klogd, which is generally installed from the same sysklogd package as syslogd. The klogd daemon manages logging of kernel messages.
For configuration, this is done through the /etc/syslog.conf file. (The rsyslogd configuration file is /etc/rsyslog.conf and is similar to syslog.conf.)

What are some of the valid codes for the facility value? What do they generally mean?
- auth - security/authorization related
- authpriv - privilege related
- cron - cron job related
- daemon - servers/processes that aren't covered by a more specific facilitiy
- kern - kernel related
- lpr -
- mail - used for mail servers and other mail-processing tools
- mark - reserved for internal use
- news - server update/news related
- security - identical to auth, though auth is the preferred facility
- syslog - related to the system logging daemon
- user - user related
- uucp - printing related
- local0 through local7
Asterisk * is a wildcard for all facilities, while the . character can be used to select multiple facilities.
