What were you trying to do that didn't work?

When adding "$AddUnixListenSocket" to configuration, expect that an extra Unix socket would be created by rsyslog.

• See following error messages on rsyslog startup:

{{
Mar 13 16:07:27 node-0 systemd[1]: rsyslog.service: Succeeded.
Mar 13 16:07:27 node-0 rsyslogd[6450]: cannot create '/home/some/path': Read-only file system [v8.2102.0-15.el8 try https://www.rsyslog.com/e/2176 ]
Mar 13 16:07:27 node-0 rsyslogd[6450]: imuxsock does not run because we could not aquire any socket [v8.2102.0-15.el8]
Mar 13 16:07:27 node-0 rsyslogd[6450]: activation of module imuxsock failed [v8.2102.0-15.el8]
}}

• SElinux was set to permissive during testing.

Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

• rsyslog-8.2102.0-15.el8 has the issue,
• rsyslog-8.2102.0-13.el8 works as expected.

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to reproduce

1. Put SElinux into permissive mode
   {{ # getenforce 0 }}
2. Create test directory on another filesystem.
   {{ # mkdir /home/some/path }}
3. Add configuration to rsyslog
   Create file /home/some/path
   {{
   $AddUnixListenSocket /home/some/path/log
   }}
4. Restart rsyslog
5. Check location for Unix socket
   {{
6. ls -l /home/some/path
   ls -l /home/some/path
   total 0
   }}

Expected results

{{

1. ls -l /home/some/path
   total 0
   }}

Actual results

{{

1. ls -l /home/some/path
   srw-rw-rw-. 1 root root 0 Mar 13 23:05 log
