CSF Reports "Neither syslog nor rsyslog appear to be running"

I'm not sure why, but CSF now reports that "Neither syslog nor rsyslog appear to be running"... We are running rsyslog which is running:

Code: Select all

[root /]# service rsyslog status
rsyslogd (pid  13035) is running...
[root /]#
Is CSF looking for something else when checking?

The system check iterates through the PID's in /proc/PID/ and checks whether the /proc/PID/exe is a symlink to syslogd or rsyslogd to see if it is running. So, for example, if rsyslogs is a (deleted) process this check will fail until rsyslogd is restarted.
