bin/149010: syslogd -s open udp socket

Tue Jul 27 23:15:38 UTC 2010

Synopsis: syslogd -s open udp socket

State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: delphij
State-Changed-When: Tue Jul 27 23:13:13 UTC 2010
State-Changed-Why: 
This behavior is by design.

Use "-ss" if you want no listening; binding on the UDP port
makes sure that syslogd can log remotely on other systems
and is the recommended behavior of RFC 3164.
