Description Pekka Savola 1999-12-11 09:10:01 UTC 
syslogd -ss disables all network functions; you can't even log on
to remote syslogd's anymore.  

This probably should be so that syslogd doesn't start listening on
syslogd port (netstat -a).

If this isn't the case, there IMO should be some kind of "--nolisten" 
option as in GNU/Linux syslogds.

How-To-Repeat: Start syslogd with -ss and put a line like this in syslogd.conf:

*.* @myother.host

I can't reproduce this problem, or at least can't understand the bug report. 

Please send actual output that displays the broken behavior to billf@FreeBSD.org

This is not a bug, though one may argue that the man page is slightly 
imprecise. Suggest the originator read the man page closely.
