Description of problem: When sysklogd started to except logs from remost hosts, it blindly starts expecting logs from any host and any network interface, it is desirable if that can be contained to particular interfaces and hosts. An interim solution could be a listen or interface directive/option. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all

I'm sorry, but "$man syslog" claims that you have to implement kernel firewalling to limit which hosts or networks have access to the 514/UDP socket.
