Frank and Tony - 

The logger issue has long been a pain for NetWorker. Some linux distros put it 
in /usr/bin, others put it in /bin. Based upon your post I asked engineering to 
look at this more closely and they’ve determined that RedHat used to put it in 
/bin…. 
RHEL 5.x by default uses /bin/logger
RHEL 6.x by default uses /usr/bin/logger

NetWorker uses a default setting of /user/bin/logger (instead of a dynamically 
querying for the location of .../logger) and several Linux distros appear to 
use /bin/logger. Engineering tells me that the documentation advises the user 
to update it to point at /usr/bin if that is how their Linux distro is set up. 
If you can't find this reference let me know and I'll press engineering for 
more clarification.

Since the NetWorker default is /usr/bin/logger, then we can guess that the 
default setting had been manually updated to point to /bin/logger (possibly 
because of an older version of RHEL?). Since NetWorker does not touch 
pre-existing resources on upgrade, the default setting was retained, and now it 
doesn’t work with RHEL 6.

Engineering has offered to change the default setting to /bin. I see this 
approach as ensuring that a different set of users get impacted. I’m opening an 
RFE to enhance NetWorker to use a dynamic query method (if possible) instead of 
using a static default setting.  

Second, in 8.0 we have removed our modification of the syslog configuration 
which is why the logger output goes to daemon.raw instead of the system log 
which is /var/log/messages. NetWorker was being a bad program by modifying the 
values for some of the syslog levels, and that has been corrected in 8.0.

Thanks for your post and my apologies for the inconvenience that may has caused 
you.
