emerge --info util-linux

Hello,
sorry my bad English.

/usr/bin/logger does not support any facility, only unknown "default".

root# logger -p [daemon|kern|user|etc] "msg"
logger: unknown priority name: [daemon|kern|user|etc]
root# logger "msg" -> successfully in /var/log/every*/current

myuser# same as above

That is, a simple user can write in syslog.

#ls -l `which logger`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30612 nov 1 19:08 /usr/sbin/logger

According to the man page:

-p, --priority priority
  Enter the message into the log with the specified priority.  The priority  may be  specified  numerically  or  as  a  facility.level  pair.   For example, -p local3.info logs the message as informational in  the  local3  facility.   The default is user.notice.
