[rsyslog] Kernel facility & testing with logger command

[Jorge Fábregas]

Hello everyone,

I'm using rsyslog for the first time and before getting into its features I'm 
doing some basic tests... This is a portion of what I have on my rsyslog.conf:

#KERN FACILITY
kern.=emerg     /var/log/syslog/kern/00-emerg
kern.=alert     /var/log/syslog/kern/01-alert
kern.=crit      /var/log/syslog/kern/02-crit
kern.=err       /var/log/syslog/kern/03-err
kern.=warning   /var/log/syslog/kern/04-warning
kern.=notice    /var/log/syslog/kern/05-notice
kern.=info      /var/log/syslog/kern/06-info
kern.=debug     /var/log/syslog/kern/07-debug

If I do any test with the logger command using the kern facility (and any 
severity) I don't see my message on any of the above files. Example:

logger -p kern.debug "this is a test"

I tried all the other facilities and they all work fine. It's just the kern 
facility. 

What am I missing ?  :)

Thanks in advance,
Jorge
