This is not right. Guess I was typing "man" in the wrong xterms.
FreeBSD (4.x, 5.x) listens to the network by default (and can be=20
persuaded not to with a "-s" flag). NetBSD (1.6) does the same.
Darwin/Mac OS X and OpenBSD do not listen by default (and can be=20
persuaded to listen with a "-u" flag). (Looks like Darwin ships with=20
OpenBSD's syslogd).
Various people mailed me and told me that "Linux" does not listen by=20
default, presumably for commonly-packaged values of "Linux".
