Was that a question or a statement?

If you are assering that indeed, yes, star'ing this specific "hardening"
option just causes the local machine to -not- send -outbound- syslog
messages, then certainly, that is indeed a horse of a different color
from what I was talking about, which was -accepting- -inbound- syslog
messages/packets.

At the very least, the wording on this option should be clarified to
make it apparent if the thing being disabled in this case is inbound
syslog messages or outbound ones.
