I don't know why the Linux manpages project marks LOG_AUTH in general as
deprecated. I know that LOG_AUTH on Linux is not configured with
restricted access normally, whereas LOG_AUTHPRIV is, but I would still
tend to log authentication subsystems (that don't require special
permissions) to LOG_AUTH instead of using something generic like LOG_USER.
Although I suppose from the perspective of the local system the KDC is
just another user process, not part of the authentication infrastructure
for that particular system.
The GNU C Library manual doesn't document LOG_AUTHPRIV at all and just has
LOG_AUTH, so the Linux manpages aren't getting it from there.
POSIX itself only standardizes LOG_USER and the LOG_LOCALn priorities and
says nothing about any of the other possibilities.
