The issue has been resolved. Here are the details for the record. Goal was: use journald logging without additional syslog/rsyslog files
Linux-version: Debian 8.7 (jessie)
Two conditions must be met:
1) /dev/log must be a symlink to /run/systemd/journal/dev-log
(/run/systemd/journal/dev-log did exist but /dev/log was no symlink)
-> remove /dev/log and create the link
-> ln -s /run/systemd/jurnal/dev/log /dev/log
2) If you mask syslog-ng or rsyslog and then remove the packages syminks in
/etc/systemd/system/ are not removed)
-> manually remove /etc/systemd/system/syslog-ng -> /dev/null and/or
/etc/systemd/system/rsyslog -> /dev/null
Now restart socket and service:
1) restart the journald socket
-> systemctl restart systemd-journald.socket
2) restart the journald service
-> systemctl restart systemd-journald.service
Finally check with journalctl -f that logging works.
Cheers,
Bernd
