Subject:   can't get syslogd to accept remote datagrams

I can't get syslogd to accept remote messages when I restrict authorized hosts
with the "-a" switch. I really only have one host from which I need to log
datagrams, which has an IP of 192.168.5.5. I tried the following:

syslogd -a 192.168.5.5/255.255.255.0
syslogd -a 192.168.5.0/255.255.255.0
syslogd -a 192.168.5.255/255.255.255.0

and I turned on UDP-log-in-vain using sysctl, so all I get is

Jan  6 21:53:53 aquarius /kernel: Connection attempt to UDP 192.168.5.6:514
from 192.168.5.5:514
Jan  6 21:53:53 aquarius last message repeated 6 times

and the like. Can anyone help? Am I mis-interpreting the mask? I already tried
0.0.0.255 as the mask, but then, while I don't get any log-in-vain messages, I
get nothing in /var/log/messages when a datagram is sent from the remote
machine.
