Note in the comments that it is possible, but not recommended to use spaces instead of tabs in this file. This matches the description in the manpage. PR: 25945 Submitted by: T.

This is the addition of a syslog(3) security.* top-level category. This should be used from now on for anything security but not auth-related. Included are updates for all relevant manpages and also to /etc files, creating a new /var/log/security. Nothing in the system logs to /var/log/security yet as of the time of this commit.

Add two commented out syslog.conf entries, one to demonstrate the use of an all.log for logging all messages, and one to demonstrate use of loghosts. Also, a matching entry in newsyslog.conf for all.log. Per request of Garrett Wollman, also modified the maillog entry to use the @T newsyslog time specification mechanism. Because newsyslog doesn't support the mod date specification machanism, couldn't change other entries that required more than one execution a month, but less than once a day.
