Thanks for writing that wiki.

In my sbbs.ini UNIX secion I commented out the Users and Group via ;
I also switched to the same logFacility as your config
LogFacility=3
The changes I made to my UNiX session logging.
I don`t really understand why using Facility=S creates a single log.
S (for single ?)

We`ve got the same OS.

I`ll change my folder ownership back to the users and group sbbs
is running under.
In the rsyslog.d file I did set those correctly.
I noticed if all those are not set correctly rsyslog.service failes to start or
degrades. I missed one when editing the file after copy and past
from your wiki.
Thank you nelgin, your post was a huge help.
