lfd sends repetitive SYSLOG failure emails on systems with journald

[geekgirl]

lfd is checking to see if syslog is running on more modern systems that have moved on to using journald in place of syslog.

It is flooding my inbox with email:

Code: Select all

Time:  Thu Aug 24 10:11:05 2023 -0500
Error: Failed to detect code [BujTog2VJMXBM14eKSjPPg] in SYSLOG_LOG [/var/log/messages]

SYSLOG may not be running correctly on server.mydomain.com

I have changed the /var/log/messages entries in /etc/csf/csf.conf to correctly point to /var/log/syslog, however lfd continues to generate these erroneous error messages.

Are there any plans to update lfd to support journald-based systems and if so, when? If not, users may have no choice but to disable lfd.
