[syslog-ng] port 514 not used

[stephen.greenfield at wachovia.com]

I should have sent more detail originally.

        system:                 SLES10 PatchLevel 1

        release:                syslog-ng-1.6.8-20.18

        server function:                syslog server, collecting syslog's 
from various clients

        problem:                want to open port 514 to collect syslog 
info over network

        description:            without changing the default 
syslog-ng.conf, the server
                                collects local syslog information, I 
uncomment the udp
                                source entry and restart the daemon.  The 
syslog-ng
                                then shows listening on various ports, 
never constant
                                and never port 514.



# netstat -anp | grep LISTEN | grep 53
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     5364   2161/acpid  
/var/run/acpid.socket
unix  2      [ ACC ]     STREAM     LISTENING     5307   2134/resmgrd  
/var/run/.resmgr_socket
