Hi, is there a final solution for this problem?
Even commenting the PrivDrop lines doesn't work for me. "service rsyslog start" keeps in foreground for a while and finally dies (using -n in /etc/init/rsyslog.conf). It behaves like is described in this thread. Creating two pids and writing the forked one under /var/run/rsyslog.pid.
