[Bug 1221000] Re: logger "-n" option is ignored

[Chris Snell]

Would love to see this fixed in Ubuntu.  It's been around for close to
two years.   As stated in the Debian bug, simple work-around is to pass
the -u flag to a bogus socket, e.g., "-u /tmp/ignored".

  logger "-n" option is ignored

Bug description:
  When I attempt to use "logger" with the -n option, the syslog messages are sent to the local

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