(1) If you want auth.info in a separate file, add ";auth.none" to the
entry for /var/log/messages.  So it would become more like:

*.*;mail.none;news.none;auth.none         -/var/log/messages

(2) If you want the auth messages only in /var/log/messages, just
delete your syslog.conf entry for /var/log/auth.log.  

Which way you do it just a matter of personal preference.
