This is kind of a related question, but in 2.2.7-RELEASE syslogd appears to have been modified to bind to its UDP port even if it is run with the -s flag. It does discard packets received on the port (but still logs a message about it!), but should it not even bind to the port when running in secure mode? It didn't bind to the port in previous versions, if memory serves. If this was a recent design decision that is meant to last, I think I will hack my syslogd back to the way it used to be.
