understand that rsyslog will support legacy syslog configuration

directives below don't look like directives from the existing

I'm not finding systematic documentation for rsyslog at the web
site (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/manual.html">http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/manual.html</a>),
but "man rsyslogd" says this: </font><br>

just for local logging -- but is not set to auto-start.<br>

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:<br>
<br>
source net-udp { udp(); };<br>
destination remote { file("/var/log/remote/$FULLHOST"); };<br>
log { source(net-udp); destination(remote); };<br>
<br>
Does anyone know if the rsyslogd would use the same statements
in its configuration file?<br>
