Indeed, I was thinking of ways to check the config files, maybe a simple grep looking for the settings I'm changing (fileOwner in rsyslog snippet, and "create" in logrotate snippet), or even md5sums, but the biggest problem is that this are config file *snippets*, i.e., they could be named anything in a .d directory, or the user could have changed the main config file even (logrotate.conf or rsyslog.conf).
