Ok. Thank you. I had stated that the logs are indeed being populated 
correctly.

I guess it is something with the rsyslog config being set by the tool. I 
will try and debug that. The odd thing is, the settings are the same on 
the IPA server, and it logs correct, but not on clients. Oh well, back 
to the drawing board.
