somehow my init-script for rsyslogd does not work. I tried to enable rsyslogd to accept logging-data on udp:514.
If I start my rsyslogd via Init-Script, no logging-data is forwarded. Not even syslog! And no port is binded.
netstat -plantu | grep 514 | grep LISTEN
ps -ef | grep sysl
root 7330 1 0 Jun21 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/mdadm --monitor --pid-file /run/mdadm/monitor.pid --daemonise --scan --syslog

root 19573 14931 0 09:55 pts/5 00:00:00 tail -f /var/log/syslog
If I start rsyslogd via console as root, everything is working fine.

According to Rsyslogd not listening on port, I modified /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.rsyslogd

Any ideas how to convince rsyslog to start via init properly?
