Day 8 - auth.log not available in Ubuntu minimal #50

Closed livialima closed 10 months ago

More than a couple of complaints about this on Reddit. Yep, it seems that in the "minimal" image only the systemd journal is available, the file auth.log is missing. To get it back need to install rsyslog: sudo apt install rsyslog

Add a note to Day 8, when we first touch auth.log, to cover it.
