``syslogd`` tries to bind interfaces with no IP address
100%
Description
In 23.01 syslogd will try to bind to an interface that has no IP resulting in the service failing to start.
This is not the behaviour implied on the syslog settings page:
NOTE: If an IP address cannot be located on the chosen interface, the daemon will bind to all addresses.
It also does this even if no remote syslog server is set and Remote Logging is disabled. That also means the bad setting is not shown in the gui when checking the settings.
It should not be possible to select as Source Address an interface that does not have a valid IP address.
An existing config that has such an interface set should beignored if remote logging is disabled.
Tested: 23.01-REL amd64

Did this happen on previous versions or just on 23.01 and after?
EDIT: Nevermind, it probably did based on the code. But I've got a fix in.

The patch fixes this behavior.
The syslogd starts even if there is no IP on the defined source interface. In that case it binds to all interfaces:
udp4 0 0 *.514 *.* udp6 0 0 *.514 *.*
Tested against:

I am marking this ticket resolved.
