Dunno.  FreeBSD syslogd sends /from/ port 514 as well as to port 514 --
which is the traditional behaviour from way back when... of a lot of UDP
based services.  NTP still does this, DNS used to do that until
Kaminsky, and now it most definitely *doesn't* do that.  More recent
code tends to just use arbitrary ports on the sending side -- I believe
rsyslog (which is the Linux standard) works like that.  No idea how
NetBSD behaves.
