Correct. Syslog belongs to Berkeley UNIX, and A/UX to System V. A/UX login, su, and other programs don't make the calls to syslog, so the messages can't be recorded. The manual page should be updated to reflect this fact. As it stands now, the syslogd man page says that login and su generate syslog messages; this is incorrect.
Logging messages to a remote system is broken, and an SPR has been filed.
