>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 :/

Cliff
>How-To-Repeat:

run syslog, check netstat -af inet for something listening on
UDP 514.
