The 'rsyslog' daemon should not accept remote messages
unless the system acts as a log server.
If the system needs to act as a central log server, add the following lines to
'/etc/rsyslog.conf' to enable reception of messages over TCP:
$ModLoad imtcp
$InputTCPServerRun 514
Parameter:
[no/yes]
Technical Mechanism:
If the system needs to act as a log server, this ensures that it can receive
messages over a reliable TCP connection.
