When you say "just trying to get OPCOM to connect to it" are you 
expecting that syslogd will somehow intercept your OPCOM messages and 
log them somewhere else?  Because it doesn't do that.

It takes syslog messages that match the priorities you have assigned to 
forward to OPCOM, in this case local1.err, and does exactly that, as I 
demonstrated in the example.
