Never mind .. I am a retard .. I forgot my syslogd is
running with "-s" switch. In syslogd.c we have:
if (!(Vogons & (Vogons - 1))) {
(void)snprintf(line, sizeof line,
"syslogd: discarded %d unwanted packets in secure mode", Vogons);
logmsg(LOG_SYSLOG|LOG_AUTH, line,
LocalHostName, ADDDATE);
Does it make sence to actually add an IP of a server trying to
send us syslogd packets? Maybe something like:
"syslogd: discarded %d unwanted packets in secure mode form %s"
