Look at your /etc/init.d/sysklogd script, and see how it handles options. for Ubuntu and debian systems, there's a line that starts with 'SYSLOGD=' and the options follow it. And, there's a comment above, showing how to turn on remote logging. Other distros may do it the same way, or they may suck in a config file. Reading the script should make it all clear.
