Greg Wettstein's newest release (1.3) of syslogd for Linux does not do
UDP-based logging unless it is specifically requested on the
command-line. Its default mode now is to only do local logging.
From the README.1st file:
* By default the syslog daemon doesn't accept any message from the
syslog/udp port. To enable this add "-r" to the command-line
arguments.
Seems like more and more people are starting to worry about this. :)~
