[tac_plus] Bug in current tac_plus

[Josef Voggesser]

Hi folks, 

a few weeks ago I found your project with the acl-enhancement on the cisco 
tacacs server.
Testing your server for my needs I noticed a little bug in the current 
version.


Logging to syslog doesn't continuously work with the configured 
           logging="local6" 
in my tacacs.cfg - file. 

A debug on syslog (see attachment) showed:
- after having read tacacs.cfg the loglevel changes to local6 --> correct
- after "backgrounded" the loglevel changes to "daemon.debug" or 
"daemon.info"  --> incorect

I asked our student Timo Vanoni to examine this malfunction and - being a 
clever boy - he found the bug. 

In the attachment you can see his changes on three files.
I think this could also help other users.


One question or maybe suggest for improvement: 
As I use two separate log files for tac_plus, I don't need user related 
log messages in syslog.
Daemon related log messages are still welcome.
Is it possible to keep user related log messages away from syslog?
