I did find another RT_SiteConfig.pm, not inside /opt/rt3/local/etc, but 
inside /opt/rt3/local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/etc/ -- however, 
when I deleted it and restarted apache, there was no change in the 
logging behavior. I ran a "find /opt/rt3 -name \*Config\*" just to be 
sure, but it didn't find any config file that I didn't already know 
about. I also checked in /etc/ but I found nothing there of interest either.

Good eye, though. Any other ideas?
