Something is listening already on port 514 and syslogd is complaining about
that. Do a sockstat |grep 514 and see what's sitting on that port. Also,
"can't open /dev/klog (16)" is another problem. That device is the kernel
log device so syslog can see kernel messages. Syslog may not be too happy
about that either.  You might check and see if you have a klog in /dev
