I have been setting up linuxcnc and machinekit as a rip install on 
linuxmint 18.1. When running sudo make setuid  on the final part of the 
machinekit install I there is an error due to no log test entry being 
detected. This appears to be an error in the script file for the sudo make 
setuid  process. It is trying to read file /var/log/linuxcnc.log which I 
believe is not the correct file to use. Machinekit souce was cloned on 
07/15/2017


In machinekit file location /machinekit/src/rtapi/ there are two logging 
configuration files, rsyslogd-linuxcnc.conf and rsyslogd-machinekit.conf.

I suspect that machinekit should be using the 
/machinekit/src/rtapi/rsyslogd-machinekit.conf file and then look at the 
generated /var/log/machinekit.log file instead of the linuxcnc.log that it 
reports to have found with zero entries having been made into that file by 
the machinekit logging verify test in the script for sudo make setuid.


I ended up copying the /machinekit/src/rtapi/rsyslogd-machinekit.conf  to 
/etc/rsyslog.d/ and then restarted the logging service with sudo service 
rsyslog restart,  and found that the logging to file 
/var/log/machinekit.log file that was generated automatically was being 
logged too just fine.


Should the sudo make setuid process not be looking for the logging test and 
verify in /var/log/machinekit.log instead of /var/log/linuxcnc.log or the 
rsyslogd-linuxcnc.log that is not likely even there?
