Update man page to present -T argument in synopsis

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

2011-07-14T07:33:53+00:00

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

2008-09-25T09:28:18+00:00

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.

2008-05-14T00:22:21+00:00

By default (for security reasons) syslogd(8) doesn't create log files

2006-03-06T10:36:33+00:00

when they don't exist, but sometimes its quite useful (eg. we use
non-standard log files and memory backed /var/, which is populated on
boot).

Add -C option which tells syslogd(8) to create log files if they don't
exist.
