Afaik this doesn't work.  Take a look at the manpage:

       void syslog( int priority, char *format, ...)

Now look what you've given them?

priority logical_OR facility
  as first argument


Let's take a look at the openlog() function:

       void openlog( char *ident, int option, int  facility)

Do we have  facility with the numerical value of zero?  I doubt.
