On the trail of the stopped rsyslog.

[Frank Murphy]

On 2\3 boxes, (F17)
rkhunter will tell me
Start Rootkit Hunter Scan ----------------------
Warning: The syslog daemon is not running.


Going by:
http://www.rsyslog.com/doc/troubleshoot.html
(needing it to be on longer to find a cause)

Tried to create a debug.log from the service file:
[Service]
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/sysconfig/rsyslog
ExecStart=/sbin/rsyslogd -n $SYSLOGD_OPTIONS -dn
> /var/log/rsyslog.log 
Sockets=syslog.socket
StandardOutput=null

I'm getting a failed on 
systemctl status rsyslog.service
Process: 24737 ExecStart=/sbin/rsyslogd -n $SYSLOGD_OPTIONS -dn
> /var/log/rsyslog.debug (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
