[Support #LSJ-519536]: LDM log rotation

Ryan,

Is the system logging daemon running?  Try the command "ps -ef | 
grep syslog".

Is the "hupsyslog" utility owned by root and setuid?  Try the command
"ls -l bin/hupsyslog"

Is SELINUX disabled?  Try the command "fgrep SELINUX /etc/selinux/config".

> Thanks.
