Please read the code (and > the man page). The code isn't relevant and you changed the man page. The bottom line is that the -s option puts syslogd into secure mode. There's nothing insecure about logging to remote hosts from the local host, so the loss of support for this feature because of "secure mode" is a design flaw. I'm not saying that you should change the code, and it's certainly not my intention to either. I _am_ saying that if someone were to change the code so that remote logging from the local host is possible in secure mode, you shouldn't object. :-) Ciao, Sheldon.
