https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=293758

            Bug ID: 293758
           Summary: syslogd refuses to start without IPv6
           Product: Base System
           Version: 15.0-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: pen@lysator.liu.se

syslogd refuses to start if no interface with IPv6 enabled.

# service syslogd start
Starting syslogd.
protect: option requires an argument -- p
usage: protect [-i] command
       protect [-cdi] -g pgrp | -p pid

# syslogd -s
# ps auxww|egrep syslogd
root     3632    0.0  0.0  14164  2668  1  S+   14:09     0:00.00 egrep syslogd


Workaround, force it to only use IPv4:

# sysrc syslogd_flags="-4s"
syslogd_flags: -s -> -4s

# service syslogd start
Starting syslogd.

# ps auxww|egrep syslogd
