     NAME
          syslogd - receive syslog information

     SYNOPSIS
          syslogd [ -x netmntpt ]

     DESCRIPTION
          The syslogd process gateways RFC-3164 udp syslog messages
          from the given network stack to syslog (see perror(2)) using
          the logname syslog.facility.  The default network stack is
          `/net' but may be overridden with the -x flag.

     SOURCE
          /sys/src/cmd/syslogd.c

     SEE ALSO
          perror(2).

     BUGS
          Syslogd is not recommended for monitoring Plan 9 systems;
          use syslog, `/lib/rfc/rfc3164.'

          A hardcoded list of facilties is used and the facility name
          `sr' (Coraid SR units use this facility) is used instead of
          `local0.'
