By thurmda:

I might be missing something critical here, but for my uses case (sending syslog messages to the local syslogd) the majority of this method is causing problems for me. Here are a few items that I just don't get...

1) If syslogd is listening on localhost:514 how would this socket ever bind?
2) If you want to send messages why would you bind and listen on a port?
3) What's the point of binding and not handling 'message' events?
