[Unit]
Description=Syslog Socket
DefaultDependencies=no
Before=sockets.target syslog.target
Conflicts=shutdown.target
Before=shutdown.target

# Pull in syslog.target to tell people that /dev/log is now accessible
Wants=syslog.target

[Socket]
ListenDatagram=/run/systemd/journal/syslog
SocketMode=0666
PassCredentials=yes

# The default syslog implementation should make syslog.service a
# symlink to itself, so that this socket activates the right actual
# syslog service.
#
# Examples:
#
# /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/rsyslog.service
# /etc/systemd/system/syslog.service -> /lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service
#
# Best way to achieve that is by adding this to your unit file
# (i.e. to rsyslog.service or syslog-ng.service):
#
# [Install]
# Alias=syslog.service
