For a start I want to syslog the stuff that usually goes into radius.log 
- so the messages when the server starts (which are already being 
syslogged successfully) and the summary line (Auth: Login OK) printed 
after an authentication (which are currently not being sent to syslog).

I also want to syslog the stuff that normally gets filed away under 
/var/log/radius/radacct - so details of radius packets for debugging.

The reason for wanting to send everything to a log host on the network 
is that the new generation of radius servers we are preparing are all 
virtualised and only have a few GB of disk - so no room for logs.

Cheers,
Jonathan
