 ===== Server =====
+==== OS X ====
+For Mavericks 10.9, and probably earlier:
+You need to edit /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist
+Look for the Sockets key and add a new section for NetworkListener:
+<code>
+  <key>Sockets</key>
+  <dict>
+    […]
+    <key>NetworkListener</key>
+    <dict>
+      <key>SockServiceName</key>
+      <string>syslog</string>
+      <key>SockType</key>
+      <string>dgram</string>
+    </dict>
+  </dict>
+</code>
+The easiest way to do this without running afoul of cached preferences is:
+<code>
+cd /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
+sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add :Sockets:NetworkListener dict" com.apple.syslogd.plist
+sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add :Sockets:NetworkListener:SockServiceName string syslog" com.apple.syslogd.plist
+sudo /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "add :Sockets:NetworkListener:SockType string dgram" com.apple.syslogd.plist
+sudo launchctl unload com.apple.syslogd.plist
+sudo launchctl load com.apple.syslogd.plist
+</code>
