ListenDatagram=/run/systemd/journal/syslog

SocketMode=0666

PassCredentials=yes

# The service we activate on incoming traffic is

# systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service. That doesn't mean however, that this

# is the main syslog daemon in the system. Another syslog

# implementation (which might be started via on-boot or another

# non-socket activation) can take over possession of the socket and

# terminate systemd-kmsg-syslogd. It could also simply replace the

# socket in the file system, and leave systemd-kmsg-syslogd untouched.
