This is how I've set syslog.conf:

*.err;kern.debug;auth.notice;mail.crit          /var/log/stdout.log
*.notice;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;news.err /var/log/messages
mail.info                                       /var/log/maillog
auth.info                                       /var/log/auth.log
ftp.info                                        /var/log/ftp.log

All info regarding su gets written to /var/log/auth.log. I think this file
requires tab key seperators as well.
