CentOS rsyslog bug

[Satish Patel]

I running Queens on CentOS 7.x and when i looked at Rsyslog config and found this.

My /var/log/messages file was empty and this is critical file because all kernel related and hardware related issues go here and we have monitoring system look for event to find out any issue.

=> /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log
*.*;local7,auth,authpriv,cron,daemon,mail,news.none -/var/log/syslog <--- wrong

CentOS doesn't use /var/log/syslog file, this should be /var/log/messages.

=> /etc/rsyslog.conf

#
# Set the default permissions for all log files.
#
$FileOwner syslog
$FileGroup adm
$FileCreateMode 0640
$DirCreateMode 0755
$Umask 0022
$PrivDropToUser syslog <--- I have to remove this line to make it work
$PrivDropToGroup syslog <--- I have to remove this line to make it work
