I added the -r option in /etc/init.d/syslog and /etc/sysconfig/syslog. 
When I restarted the syslog, it's not binding to port 514 udp, any 
reason why?

/etc/services:
syslog          514/udp

/etc/sysconfig/syslog:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-rm 0"

Just a guess here...but shouldn't it be

SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-r -m 0"

/etc/init.d/syslog:
# Source config
if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/syslog ] ; then
        . /etc/sysconfig/syslog
else
        SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-rm 0"
        KLOGD_OPTIONS="-2"
fi

[root@localhost test]# netstat -np |grep syslog
unix  3      [ ]         DGRAM                    28809  5348/syslogd    
    /dev/log

Running fedora 6.

thanks.
