The following changes were made

* killproc in init script now properly uses PID files
  * pidofproc now checks PID files in init script
  * Will no longer attempt to start klogd if running in container
  * Updated default syslog.conf to prevent annoying 'noone' errors
  * Updated usher to use /bin/sh
  * Removed chroot from usher (will be performed by latest snap)
