Yes there is a man page for syslogd. But it tells perfectly how to forward
messages from one host to another. Not how to recieve messages and dump
them into a log file.

<p>Try the syslogd man page (man 8 syslogd on my Debian Linux box).
<p>In an unusual turn of events, the man page is well written and
