Rate-limiting depends on SCM_CREDENTIALS. If the platform does not support this socket option, rate limiting is turned off. If multiple sockets are configured, rate limiting works independently on each of them (that should be what you usually expect). -The same functionality is available for the system log socket, which -just uses the prefix $SystemLogRateLimit... but otherwise works exactly the same. +The same functionality is available for additional log sockets, in which case the +config statements just use +the prefix $IMUXSockRateLimit... but otherwise works exactly the same.
