Remote logging starts listening?

  Hi there!

  I have sysklogd packega from Debian (version syslogd 1.3-3#33.1). I do not
want the syslog to listen on UDP port, just to send messages away. However, when
I put the sending line (@1.2.3.4) to the syslog.conf, the syslog starts
listening on UDP port 514. No -r argument is given, when the line is not in
syslog.conf, syslog does not listen.

  Is this a bug or a feature? Can it be prevented?

                                                        Thanks,
                                                                Michal
