Package: bsdutils
Version: 1:2.13.1-1
Severity: normal

Hello all,
the programm logger has the option "-f" to "Log the specified file.".
However, it doesn't work. See:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ logger -f /tmp/test.log "Test1"
logger: /tmp/test.log: No such file or directory.

If I create this file by hand:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ touch /tmp/test.log
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ logger -f /tmp/test.log "Test1"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$ cat /tmp/test.log
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp$

nothing is logged.

The normal logging to syslog works without problems.

Sincerly,
DaB.
