Both -RAW and COOKED profiles are supported (but COOKED only without -relay-specific PATH elements). -rfc3195d accepts messages via RFC 3195 and forwards them to -the local domain socket specified in the -p option -(/dev/log3195 by default). There, the messages can be picked up -by the system syslogd. While rfc3195d can work with any syslogd, -we highly recommend using -.B rsyslogd, -because it has special handling -for the messages forwarded by rfc3195d. To enable message -reception in -.B rsyslogd, -use the "-a :/dev/log3195" command line -option (the colon in front of the socket name tells -.B rsyslogd -that the messages contain hostnames - this is vital to get the -right sender name into your logs). - -.B Rfc3195d -currently has very limited functionality. Most importantly, -it does not allow to limit the senders it receives messages from. -Documentation is also very sparse. The situation should improve over -time as the rsyslog project is continously being enhanced. -.LP -.SH OPTIONS -.TP -.BI "\-p " "socket" -The socket the received messages are to be sent to.
