Description Ken Dreyer 2012-01-16 22:01:10 UTC 
Description of problem:
logger is not writing to /var/log/messages in Rawhide.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.20.1-3.fc17.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run "logger hello"
2. Tail /var/log/messages
  
Actual results:
3. There's no line "hello".

Expected results:
There should be a "hello" line.

Additional info:
This is a regression from F15, at least. logger from util-linux-2.19.1-1.4.fc15 works on my F15 box.

$ logger "this works for me baby"

$ sudo tail -1 /var/log/messages

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/logger
util-linux-2.20.1-2.1.fc16.x86_64

I'll check F17/rawhide later...
Comment 2 Ken Dreyer 2012-02-10 23:59:27 UTC 
This appears to be fixed in util-linux-2.21-0.2.fc18.i686
