The facilities "ntp", "mark" and "security" are not valid syslog
facilities on a CentOS 7 server. As "dhcpd.conf" mentions: "Not all of
these facilities are available on all systems, and there may be other
facilities available on other systems.".

Take a look at "man syslog.h" to see the complete list of valid
facilities on your system.

Just use another one, for example one of local0 .. local7.
