A little grepping shows that you are right.  The "-l" switch is AFAICT
the only supported way to configure logging to syslog in FR 1.x,
despite the comment in the man page.

I guess this is something that snuck in from CVS HEAD (2.x to-be)
where you can do

 log_destination = null | files | syslog | stdout | stderr

in radiusd.conf
