rsyslogd: set SO_TIMESTAMP failed on '/dev/log': Invalid argument [v8.16.0]

Please make sure that you provide enough information so that we understand what your issue is about.
This issue happens when rsyslogd starts up.

1. testssl version from the banner (testssl.sh -b 2>/dev/null | head -4 | tail -2)
   testssl.sh: Command not found

2. what exactly was happening, output is needed
   On rsyslog startup syslog is emitting the following line to /var/log/syslog:
   rsyslogd: set SO_TIMESTAMP failed on '/dev/log': Invalid argument [v8.16.0]

3. what did you expect instead?
   I did not expect rsyslog to emit any errors to the syslog. The default configuration should work. I have been able to get rid of the other errors by disabling kernel logging and attempts to notify to xconsole, but I can't get this one to go away.

4. steps to reproduce

   1. testssl.sh command line: This command is not supported

   2. if possible: target IP doesn't matter this is local host and does not involve networkinig

   3. openssl version used (testssl.sh -b 2>/dev/null | head -16 | tail -3)
      OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016

   4. your operating system (uname -a)
      Linux LAPTOP-OT0BG026 4.4.0-43-Microsoft Heartbleed for STARTTLS #1-Microsoft Wed Dec 31 14:42:53 PST 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Steve, despite the filled out template I can't derive any sense from it. Don;t know what rsyslog should has to do with testssl.sh. testssl.sh doesn't have anything to do with system logging.

And why it says 'This command is not supported' or 'Command not found' looks to me you tampered with your system .

Sorry, can't help here. Cheers, Dirk

I must apologize, I accidentally issued this request to the wrong project. Thank you for the valiant effort at trying to make sense of the issue, but it was intended for an entirely different project. Please accept my apologies.
