1) If you plan to start syslogd at boot, please make it uses by default "-ss" option, so it doesn't open any network connection.
A bit of paranoia.

Hello Ed.


from man syslogd:

-s Operate in secure mode. Do not log messages from remote
machines. If specified twice, no network socket will be opened
at all, which also disables logging to remote machines.



I can see your point about not having a un-needed port open for most people. I favour adding "-ss" as default, as most people really dont use remote syslog logging. If they do, they'd know how to turn it on.
