     udp [-a] [-h host] [-p port]

     udp output module forwards messages to remote hosts trhoug a UDP
     connection.


EXAMPLES

BUGS

     *   Messages sent through UDP get lost, consider using TCP

     *   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
