>Description:
There is no option to explicitly specify a fixed port for outgoing syslog
messages to other syslogds (or at least one to specify 514).
Some facist setups require packets to have a certain source port, and there
is no harm for our syslogd to support this.
This PR superseds the mostly incomprehensible PR 44671.
>How-To-Repeat:
Read syslogd(8).
