How to enable remote logging?

Extracted from Web submission
Tip provided by mgw
Syslogd can be configured to receive messages from remote hosts (via UDP).
To enable this feature, start syslogd with the -r option. Then add
the syslog server to the /etc/syslogd.conf file in the client
(use a @host syntax). This is useful to preserve an audit trail even
if a cracker does a rm -rf
