     -s	syslog_priority
	     These priorities are accepted: emerg, alert, crit,	err, warning,
	     notice, info, and debug.  The default is info.

     -l	syslog_facility
	     These facilities are accepted: auth, authpriv, console, cron,
	     daemon, ftp, kern,	lpr, mail, news, ntp, security,	syslog,	user,
	     uucp, and local0, ..., local7.  The default is daemon.

A number of ports use daemon(8) and log to this facility, so logging it by default seems like a good idea.
