Change syslogging of authorization related commands
For sucessful sudo, just log it at info level. Capture any security failures/changes into /var/log/auth.log but skip normal CLI commands Turn off the builtin sync after each write to /var/log/messages by putting - before file name; the sync causes a disk write each time and therefore can be a performance hit during boot.
