hmm... I don't think we should change the behavior of -s...  it should be kept
the same for compatibilty reasons... but we should add the new "send only"
flag as something else...  I'm thinking -o (output only)...  but comments
welcome...

I'm actually interested in this patch as I have a couple diskless machines
that log over the network... and I don't want them "recieving network" log
messages...

[patch that makes syslogd do what the man pages say deleted]
