If you mean to configure it to receive message over TCP from other
hosts, check out the -a argument to Syslog.  If you mean it won't
receive them on a local socket, check to make sure your service that's
trying to syslog isn't chroot, but other than that it should work find. 
You can test with the logger(1) program to narrow down problems between
Syslog vs the service's ability to talk to syslog.

Best of luck,
