Auditd and syslog.

Hello, all.

This is my first question of the mailing list and I hope that I haven't
missed something too obvious here.

I'm new to auditd, but it sounds like it will do precisely what I wish
to do.  I'd like to track user movements from the point of login to
logout.  I've been figuring out most everything fine, but one question
remains that I haven't found a clear answer to.  Is it possible to make
auditd use syslog to output it's logs?  I'd like to use syslog to
centrally rollup the auditd logs of all of the secure systems.  

If this isn't possible, is it due to security concerns?  I know that the
api to use syslog is fairly simple, so the lack of the feature shouldn't
be complexity.  

I did do searches for this information, so I apologize if I missed this
question elsewhere.

Thanks for your time..
