Note 1 - Various operating system daemons and
processes 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.
Processes and daemons that have not been
explicitly assigned a Facility value may use any of
the "local use" facilities (16 to 21) or they may use
the "user-level" facility (1) - and these are the
values that you can select.
