Michael Biebl 9b59581a6f use the $ModLoad syntax consistently.
Update the documentation to use the new, preferred $ModLoad syntax:

<p style="font-weight: bold;">What is it good for.</p>

<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">Configuration.</span>
</p>
<p>Let's assume there are 3 machines in kerberos Realm: </p>
<ul>
<li>the
first is running KDC (Kerberos Authentication Service and Key
Distribution Center),</li>
<li>the second is a client sending its logs to the server,</li>
<li>the third is receiver, gathering all logs.</li>
</ul>
<p class="P7"> </p>
<p class="P10"><span style="font-style: italic;">1.
KDC:</span> </p>
<ul>
<li>Kerberos
database must be properly set-up on KDC machine first. Use
kadmin/kadmin.local to do that. Two principals need to be add in our
case:</li>
</ul>
<ol style="margin-left: 1.25cm; list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>
<p>sender@REALM.ORG
</p>
</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>client must have ticket for pricipal sender</li>
<li>REALM.ORG is kerberos Realm</li>
</ul>
<ol style="margin-left: 1.25cm; list-style-type: decimal;">
<li>host/receiver.mydomain.com@REALM.ORG - service principal</li>
</ol>
<ul>
<li>Use ktadd to export service principal and transfer it to
/etc/krb5.keytab
on receiver </li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-style: italic;">2. CLIENT:</span>
</p>
<ul>
<li>set-up rsyslog, in /etc/rsyslog.conf</li>
<li>$ModLoad omgssapi - load output gss module </li>
<li>$GSSForwardServiceName
otherThanHost - set the name of service principal, "host" is the
default one</li>
<li>*.* :omgssapi:receiver.mydomain.com - action line, forward
logs to receiver</li>
<li>kinit root - get the TGT ticket</li>
<li>service rsyslog start
