control if rsyslog should listen for tcp / udp connections. Further ikml logging (kernel) logging can be disabled, e.g. for lxc containers.
It supports both a client only (sending all logs to another machine) and a server side (receiving logs from mulitple other machines).

It works on Redhat, Debian, FreeBSD, Suse and Arch OS families.

In situations where there's already a default logger installed (e.g. a FreeBSD jail), an option exists to declare that rsyslog is the exclusive system logger.
This provides a facility to add other loggers to a stoplist which helps, for example, to ensure that port 514 UDP is free for rsylog to use.
