syslog.conf link was not present. I created it and
verified that /tmp/syslog.conf exists on the
workstation - it contains the line "*.*
@192.168.0.254" which is the correct IP address of the
server. Unfortunately, the workstation's screen still
reports the same error.
I've learned via the Gentoo forum that more people
than I'd known have had this same problem with the
3.0.7 version so I'm now going to follow advice urged
on that forum to emerge the 3.0.9 version although
it's still in testing.

This error message suggests that your workstation's copy of syslogd is
trying to log to a file on the workstation. Most likely, you are
missing a link "/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/syslog.conf -> /tmp/syslog.conf"
If the link is there, make sure that /tmp/syslog.conf exists on the
workstation and contains a line "*.* @servername", where 'servername' is
the name of your server.
