Why does syslogd listen on port udp:514 when -r is not specified?
Issue
syslogd
is binding to0.0.0.0:514
even with -r is not used in/etc/sysconfig/syslog
- When configuring i.e.
*.* @10.0.0.1
in /etc/syslog.conf
syslogd
starts to listen on port udp:514 while it should just send out messages to the remote host, why is that?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5
