[Bug 1221000] [NEW] logger "-n" option is ignored

[Nathan Stratton Treadway]

Public bug reported:

When I attempt to use "logger" with the -n option, the syslog messages are sent to the local
rsyslog process instead of the specified remote server:

$ logger -n log.example.com  test message
$ echo "another test message" | logger -n log.example.com
