Ok, I guess I didn't understand everything I read. It looks like
I have rsyslog running.
[bobg at box7 ~]$ service rsyslog status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status rsyslog.service
rsyslog.service - System Logging Service

However it says the log data should be sent to
/tmp/var/log/messages which does not exist. Of course there is
/var/log/messages but I see nothing there. I guess the question
then becomes should I create that file?
