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 Jan 17 11:54:57 x2 kzak: this works for me baby $ rpm -qf /usr/bin/logger util-linux-2.20.1-2.1.fc16.x86_64 I'll check F17/rawhide later...
This appears to be fixed in util-linux-2.21-0.2.fc18.i686
