You didn't mention if you were using F8 or another version.  In F8 the file 
to edit is /etc/sysconfig/rsyslog.  In other it is /etc/sysconfig/syslog and 
I modified mine and restarted.

It works as expected....

[root at f8 sysconfig]# netstat -nap | grep 514
udp        0      0 0.0.0.0:514                 0.0.0.0:* 
             2527/rsyslogd
udp        0      0 :::514                      :::* 
             2527/rsyslogd
