Hi,
When syslogd is sending messages per UDP, it stops if there is a
permanent error. It has a list of transient errors.
Since OpenBSD 6.5 pf has changed its error code to EACCES. If pf
blocks your outgoing syslog packets and your fix pf.conf, syslogd
still does not send messages to remote syslog server.
Better continue trying also in that case. It restores pre-6.5
behavior.
ok?
