Assuming you have not modified this file already, then you should see a block like this start near Line 21:

21:# Options for start/restart the daemons 22:# For remote UDP logging use SYSLOGD="-r"
23:#
24:SYSLOGD="-s syslog"

Simply change Line 24 to:

24:SYSLOGD="-r"

iptables -L

'sudo /sbin/syslogd -r'
