    ## Tiny Syslog Server in Python.
    ##
    ## This is a tiny syslog server that is able to receive UDP based syslog
    ## entries on a specified port and save them to a file.
    ## That's it... it does nothing else...
    ## There are a few configuration parameters.

    LOG_FILE = 'youlogfile.log'
    HOST, PORT = "0.0.0.0", 514

    #
    # NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS BELOW HERE...
    #
