I switched to sysvinit and a build that has the 'service' wrapper
(our wrlinux-image-glibc-std) and:

============================================================================
Testsuite summary for rsyslog 8.29.0
============================================================================
# TOTAL: 265
# PASS:  247
# SKIP:  14
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  4
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

FAIL: omfile-read-only-errmsg.sh
FAIL: omfile-read-only.sh
...
FAIL: privdropuser.sh
FAIL: privdropuserid.sh

so much for most of that theory explaining the first to failures
but the last one goes away as expected.
