(1) If you want auth.info in a separate file, add ";auth.none" to the entry for /var/log/messages. So it would become more like: *.*;mail.none;news.none;auth.none -/var/log/messages (2) If you want the auth messages only in /var/log/messages, just delete your syslog.conf entry for /var/log/auth.log. Which way you do it just a matter of personal preference.
