Add a flag, -T, that tells syslogd to always replace the timestamp on

messages from the network. We already replace malformatted timestamps
and this option lets us replace timestamps that are correctly formatted
but wrong.

.It Fl T
Always use the local time and date for messages received from the network,
instead of the timestamp field supplied in the message by the remote host.
This is useful if some of the originating hosts can't keep time properly
or are unable to generate a correct timestamp.
.It Fl u
Unique priority logging.
Only log messages at the specified priority.

.Pp
The date and time are taken from the received message.
If the format of the timestamp field is incorrect,
time obtained from the local host is used instead.
