ADDITION: Of course I meant /usr/local/etc/sutoers,
NOT sudo.conf.

Instead of logging via syslog (to /var/log/messages),
why not use a specific log file for sudo? Add those
lines to the sudoers file:

	Defaults logfile=/var/log/sudo.log
	Defaults !syslog

Make sure /var/log/sudo.log exists, and maybe use
newsyslog.conf to deal with log rotation and archiving.
However, you can easily purge sudo log information
this way, if required.

The file /usr/local/share/doc/sudo/sample.sudoers
contains an example.
