30d6457c9e Turns out everyone is a lot lazier than I thought. Spell
'authentication.log' as 'auth.log'.

This is also more consistent with syslog facility names.

Sigh. :-)

0ec9497e58 Clean up logging of security information a bit:
o Introduce /var/log/authentication.log, which will be the target for
  auth.info and authpriv.info by default.  Rotate on the same schedule
  as most other logs.  Create at installation.

o Remove logging of auth.info from /var/log/security.log, which will
  return to being only for security feature subsystems (such as ipfw,
  and so on).

This creates a special authentication log, which can now be searched
by scripts for authentication events.

179e0241ea /var/log/security gets almost no (if not no) activity on many FreeBSD
systems due to sshd not using the security log class.  Tweak syslog.conf
so that /var/log/security also gets a useful set of
authentication-related logging.

1f38b5660f 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.

13c032fd0e 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.

fa62586ae7 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.

3b15f669f7 This is Vixie cron 3.0. This version fixes all known security bugs.
Further it implements crontab -e.
I moved cron from /usr/libexec to /usr/sbin where most daemons are
that are run from rc. That also gets rid of the ugly path crond
used to have in ps(1) outputs. Further I renamed it to cron, as
Paul Vixie likes it and is done by NetBSD.

NOTE VERY WELL THE FOLLOWING:

1) Systems crontab changed. Every users crontab resides in /var/cron
   *EXCEPT* root's. This is a special crontab as it resides in
   /etc. Further it is the *ONLY* crontab file in which you specify
   usernames. See /usr/src/etc/crontab. This is also done by BSDI's
   BSD/386 as far as I know (they provided the patches for it anyway)
2) So you *must* delete root's crontab and reinstall the copy
   in /etc from /usr/src/etc.
   'Must' is to much: the old installed crontab will work but cron
   will also try to 'run' /etc/crontab.
3) Last but not least: cron's logging is now done via syslog. Note
   that logging by cron is done lowercase when it logs about itsself
   and uppercase when it logs user events, like installing a new crontab.
   The default logfile file is the same as before:
   	syslog.conf:cron.*	/var/cron/log
