UDP 514 port open for remote logging on syslogd . HELP!

The /etc/inittab defined the default init level as 2 and looking into /etc/rc2.d there are 2 scripts called /etc/init.d/readynas_startup and /etc/rc2.d/S02ToggleSwitchProCPUFan.

Looking at the file "/etc/init.d/readynas_startup" around line 375 you have:

# RC2
echo -n "Starting system log daemon: syslogd" >$OUT
mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
sync
/sbin/syslogd -m 0 || (echo "...retrying"; sleep 1; /sbin/syslogd -m 0)
echo "." >$OUT

The syslogd is not started using the standard /etc/init.d/sysklogd script it calls the daemon directly.

I made the following changes to "/etc/init.d/readynas_startup":

# RC2
echo -n "Starting system log daemon: syslogd" >$OUT
mknod -m 640 /dev/xconsole p
sync
. /etc/default/syslogd
/sbin/syslogd ${SYSLOGD}-m 0 || (echo "...retrying"; sleep 1; /sbin/syslogd ${SYSLOGD} -m 0) 
echo "." >$OUT
