Description Ken Bantoft 2009-07-10 12:57:37 UTC 
Many syslog daemons provide support for accepting messages from remote syslog hosts and logging them locally.  Busybox's current syslogd supports sending syslog messages, but does not support receiving them.

This is a feature request to add this support in.  In other syslog daemons, the option '-r' is typically used to allow this behavior.

We need to port socklog to bbox. It is small, and can be used to receive log data from UDP, TCP, even Unix sockets and from /proc/klog (i.e. it can be used instead of klogd).

my busybox is 1.19.0 , and syslogd does not accept syslog messages too.
