Why each option
To allow a `syslogd` daemon to receive messages from other systems, it must be started with a specific command-line option.
The `-s` option is not the standard flag for enabling remote message reception in `syslogd`.
The `-r` option is required for `syslogd` to enable the reception of log messages from remote systems, typically causing it to listen on UDP port 514.
`remote` is not a command-line option for `syslogd`; it is a conceptual term.
The `-l` option is not the standard flag for enabling remote message reception in `syslogd`; it is sometimes used for specifying log file locations.
