[Lubuntu] Simple configuration for remote logging with rsyslogd

On Lubuntu Quantal, it looks like rsyslogd is installed with a certain 
configuration -- probably just for local logging -- but is not set to 
auto-start.

I'm trying to set up remote logs for an LTSP client (to log to the LTSP 
server) for the sake of troubleshooting a client boot problem.  The LTSP 
manual has this sample for syslog-ng's configuration file 
/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf:

     source net-udp { udp(); };
     destination remote { file("/var/log/remote/$FULLHOST"); };
     log { source(net-udp); destination(remote); };

Does anyone know if the rsyslogd would use the same statements in its 
configuration file?
