What solutions have people used to restrict which hosts can send stuff to their syslogd?

Greg Wettstein's newest release (1.3) of syslogd for Linux does not do UDP-based logging unless it is specifically requested on the command-line. Its default mode now is to only do local logging.
From the README.1st file:
* By default the syslog daemon doesn't accept any message from the syslog/udp port. To enable this add "-r" to the command-line arguments. Seems like more and more people are starting to worry about this. :)~ --Up. -- Jeff Uphoff - systems/network admin. | juphoff () nrao edu National Radio Astronomy Observatory | juphoff () bofh org uk Charlottesville, VA, USA | jeff.uphoff () linux org PGP key available at: http://www.cv.nrao.edu/~juphoff/
