I'm still deciding on that... Here's what I see:

steve@test1(~)$ telnet localhost 514
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
steve@test1(/tmp/tard)$ 

steve@bonsai(~)$ telnet 192.168.21.28 514
Trying 192.168.21.28...
Connected to 192.168.21.28.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.

And here is what I see in syslogd:

test1# syslogd -d -a localhost
...
logmsg: pri 45, flags 0, from test1, msg Jan 20 23:34:52 rshd[53675]:
