LFD is the login failure daemon, it is normal for it to produce log messages. I may be missing it, but what is your actual question/issue?

Hello Jesse, you're correct, the issue is LFD should not fail to detect this and many other lines. The bug is often referenced in Google but I can't find a working solution. Regards, Rick.

Yeah, searching a bit more, it indicates syslog failure (LFD is checking that syslog is working properly).

What do you have in your rsyslog config (/etc/rsyslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.d/*)? Is systemd-journald running? (systemctl list-units --all | grep journal)
