Update .Dd, sync usage() for -F. Missed in previous change.

Add and document an option to cause syslogd to run in the

2015-03-03T20:07:59+00:00

foreground.

This allows a separate process to monitor when and how
syslogd exits. That process can then restart syslogd if needed.

Add a new option, -N to disable the default and recommended syslogd(8)

behavior, which binds to the well known UDP port.

This option implies -s.

syslogd(8) already supports sending log messages to non-

2010-08-07T16:20:12+00:00

standard ports, but it can't *receive* them (port 514 is
hardcoded).  This commit adds that missing feature.

(NB:  I actually needed this feature for a server farm where
multiple jails run with shared IP addresses, and every jail
should have its own syslogd process.)

As a side effect, syslogd now compiles with WARNS=6.

Add a flag, -T, that tells syslogd to always replace the timestamp on

messages from the network. We already replace malformatted timestamps
and this option lets us replace timestamps that are correctly formatted
but wrong.

Add a -8 switch to syslogd to prevent it from mangling 8-bit data.
