logger not sending information over the wire #397

Hi,
I am trying to use logger to send the status of local scripts to a rsyslog server, but they never seem to even leave the PI.

I am using the following command: sudo logger -n rsyslog-server -P 514 -p local0.err -t enviro -d "Hello from PI"

I run tcpdump on the PI and on the rsyslog server: tcpdump -i eth0 -s0 port 514

It never captures any syslog traffic.

System Info
uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11+ #538 PREEMPT Fri Aug 30 20:42:08 BST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux

sudo dpkg -l | grep util-linux
ii util-linux 2.20.1-5.3 armhf Miscellaneous system utilities

Regards
Gregg
