I went ahead and changed the machinekit script file 
"check-system-configuration.sh"  line 24 to machinekit.log instead of 
linuxcnc.log to work around the logging ok verification issue that shows 
with at the end of a current make process on my computer.

The /machinekit/src/rtapi/rsyslogd-machinekit.conf file does need to be 
copied to /etc/rsyslog.d/ if it is not there and then the logging service 
needs to be restarted with sudo service rsyslog restart.
