A lot of people configure sysklogd to collect log messages from the

Why do you think a lot of people do that?
I think they don't, because the default setting usually is to not accept 
network packets. So if somebody opens his syslogd to receive network packets 
he should know what he does and keep his box clean of junk packets.
