- If necessary, reboot your system after the installation.
How to test
- If you are using a graphical environment, open a terminal window.
- Check if system logging facility is working (
tailcan be replaced withlessin the following):su -c 'journalctl -a'
- If rsyslog is installed (for example, on the Server Flavor), check:
su -c 'tail /var/log/secure'
Expected Results
