Description

Similar to how logging didn't work in #14283, if the <syslog> section of config.xml is missing or empty, the newsyslog configuration for log rotation does not end up in /var/etc/newsyslog.conf.d/pfSense.conf.

As with #14283 there is an invalid test at src/etc/inc/syslog.inc#L520 that doesn't setup the newsyslog configuration when that configuration section is empty.

Simple workaround is to set some value in the log settings ( Status > System Logs , Settings tab ) such as disabling rotation compression.

Checking the source I don't see any other places using that same test, this is the only one remaining.
