In your initial post, you showed the message you're getting: BPXF024I (USRFWKT) Oct 8 11:27:08 BOLSAWBD/USRFWKT SYSLOGT syslogd: FSUM1229 syslogd is already active TFM explains FSUM1229 as follows: Explanation: Another instance of syslogd, or possibly some other program, is already processing the syslogd AF_UNIX socket. The syslogd AF_UNIX socket is /dev/log, or a different one specified with the -p command-line parameter. This does not correlate to the cause you've found. syslogd should write a message telling it could not open port 514 with the corresponding reason.
