---------  --------					---------
    
    0      kernel messages  				[RFC3164]
    1      user-level messages  			[RFC3164]
    2      mail system  				[RFC3164]
    3      system daemons  				[RFC3164]
    4      security/authorization messages (note 1) 	[RFC3164]
    5      messages generated internally by syslogd  	[RFC3164]
    6      line printer subsystem  			[RFC3164]
    7      network news subsystem  			[RFC3164]
    8      UUCP subsystem  				[RFC3164]
    9      clock daemon (note 2) 			[RFC3164]
   10      security/authorization messages (note 1) 	[RFC3164]
   11      FTP daemon 					[RFC3164]
   12      NTP subsystem 				[RFC3164]
   13      log audit (note 1) 				[RFC3164]
   14      log alert (note 1) 				[RFC3164]
   15      clock daemon (note 2) 			[RFC3164]
   16      local use 0  (local0) 			[RFC3164]
   17      local use 1  (local1) 			[RFC3164]
   18      local use 2  (local2) 			[RFC3164]

   22      local use 6  (local6) 			[RFC3164]
   23	   local use 7  (local7) 			[RFC3164]

Note 1 - Various operating systems have been found to utilize  
         Facilities 4, 10, 13 and 14 for security/authorization,  
         audit, and alert messages which seem to be similar. 

Note 2 - Various operating systems have been found to utilize  
         both Facilities 9 and 15 for clock (cron/at) messages.
