This will allow you to log to different files.  For example, if you
have:

logging facility local4

on your router...  Then a corresponding entry in your syslog.conf would
be:

local4.info           /log/rtrlog

This tells syslogd on your unix host to save entries for local4 in the
file /log/rtrlog.  One thing that I like to do is have one unix host as
my logging server.  That way all devices (routers, switches, etc.) AND
other unix hosts send to the logging server.  You only have to check one
server to get all your logs.

-yes, use TACACS+

-to get TACACS+:
http://www.nttacplus.com/
ftp://ftp-eng.cisco.com/pub/tacacs/
CiscoSecure ACS
RSA ACE/Server

-for configuring to use TACACS+:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios113ed/113ed_cr/secur_c/scprt2/sctplus.htm

The TACACS+ server can send the logs to your syslog server :-)
