 It is incorrect that syslogd receives a UDP packet on any local port
 when a "*" is specified.  This address validation is done by using
 the source port number in a received UDP packet, so the point of
 interest is the remote peer.

 How about "...accepts UDP packets sent with any source port" or
 something?
