19 # The service we activate on incoming traffic is
20 # systemd-kmsg-syslogd.service. That doesn't mean however, that this
21 # is the main syslog daemon in the system. Another syslog
22 # implementation (which might be started via on-boot or another
23 # non-socket activation) can take over possession of the socket and
24 # terminate systemd-kmsg-syslogd. It could also simply replace the
25 # socket in the file system, and leave systemd-kmsg-syslogd untouched.
