# This file is part of systemd. # # See systemd.special(7) for details [Unit] Description=Syslog Socket Before=sockets.target syslog.target [Socket] ListenDatagram=/dev/log SocketMode=0666 # The service we activate on incoming traffic is # systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service. That doesn't mean however, that this # is the main syslog daemon in the system. Another syslog # implementation (which might be started via on-boot or another # non-socket activation) can take over possession of the socket and # terminate systemd-kmsg-syslogd. It could also simply replace the # socket in the file system, and leave systemd-kmsg-syslogd untouched. Service=rsyslog.service
