So you can run syslogd once the whole system is up and running?
Because that is what the rc.local suggests.

I'm not using the -s open, I've used the -A option to actually specify the 
addresses I want to listen on. And if you don't want to receive anything 
from other systems. You might also forgo the option of opening a network 
socket at all using -s -s.
