NAME

     tcp input module - syslogd(8) input module used to receive from tcp
     connections


SYNOPSIS

     tcp [-a] [-q] [-h host] [-p port]


DESCRIPTION

     tcp input module allows syslogd(8) daemon to use tcp IPC.


EXAMPLES

     *   The following command installs syslogd(8) daemon and activates tcp
         system accepting remote connections on local address
         machinename.example.com port 3210:

               syslogd -i 'tcp -h machinename.somedomainexample.com -p 3210'

     *   The following command installs syslogd(8) daemon and activates tcp
         system accepting remote connections on all local addresses port 3210:

               syslogd -i 'tcp -p 3210'

     *   The following is the similar to the previous, but extracts the host
         name from the message:

               syslogd -i 'tcp -a -p 3210'

     *   The following is the same, but avoids adding full fomain (FQDN):

               syslogd -i 'tcp -q -p 3210'


BUGS

     *   We are sending everything not encrypted! You may want to use a tunnel
         such as SSL.

     *   Submit bugs at this project's Sourceforge Bug reporting system at:
         http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=add&group_id=25741&atid=385117
         You may also report them directly to the authors; send an email to
         core.devel.alat@corest.com, describing the problem the most you can,
         containing also machine description, hardware description, the
         configuration file (/usr/local/etc/syslog.conf), the OS description,
         and the invoking command line.  The more you describe the bug, the
         faster we can fix it.
