I don't think we should change the behavior of -s... it should be kept the same for compatibilty reasons... but we should add the new "send only" flag as something else... I'm thinking -o (output only)... but comments welcome... I'm actually interested in this patch as I have a couple diskless machines that log over the network... and I don't want them "recieving network" log messages...
