>Description:
There is a bug in syslogd which makes it not listen on UDP port 514
unless two "-s" options are given on the command line, which is very
contrary to the man page. It appears a logic error in syslog.c:397 is
to blame. The program works as stated if changed to:
if (SecureMode < 2)
Guess this explains why remote logging stopped on my system, but it is
now working after this change. Fascist mode is cool, but you better
give people a way out! More importantly the "-s -s" does the opposite
of the man page :/

>How-To-Repeat:
run syslog, check netstat -af inet for something listening on
UDP 514.
