"One thing you can do is to tell your syslog daemon NOT to listen to syslog messages from other systems by running your syslog daemon in secure mode. To do so, add "-s" switch in your /etc/rc.conf file."
  

if i do this i get an error so i assume he/she mistyped it or wrote it thinking someone with more intelligence would better understand what to do :-)

what should actually go there ? is it to be in some other file like syslog.conf ? if so how tho ?

thanks
