I have 2 problems with syslog I can't seem to solve.

The first is /dev/log not accepting connections:

# logger "Log string"
logger: socket /dev/log: Connection refused

This causes ntpd.service to fail. systemd-journald.service is running,
but lsof /dev/log shows lots but nothing with /dev/log in the NAME
column.

The second is a truckload of syslog audit messages being pooped all over
the serial terminal, which makes the terminal almost unusable. I already
uninstalled all apparmor rpms (except libapparmor1) and this stuff keeps
on spurting forth.

It's factory with all rpms up to date (there was a big lot, 20150401
"Tumbleweed).

It's possible I broke it with excessive use of systemctl. Which parts
should I check to get this under control again?

I had installed the syslog-ng package and syslog-service, both
uninstalled again.

Is it relevant that /var is on its own ext4 partition?

Thanks muchly,

Volker
