Currently when providing the "-r" argument to syslogd, the daemon binds to the "wildcard" interface address (eg, 0.0.0.0 for IPv4). This may be undesirable for some users as they may want to control which interface syslogd binds to. This change adds the "-R ADDR" parameter which accepts a specific IP address to bind.

…cept instead of listening on _all_ interfaces, the user can give ADDR to restrict the interface that syslogd listens on

Marc, this patch does not apply to latest master, which has changed considerably since the baseline your patch seems to be against. The latest sysklogd release differs quite a lot from the 1.x series, for instance it has the option -b [address][:port] to bind to a specific address/port.

Closing.
