Would not a diversion be avoided with: package: inetutils-logger executable: /usr/bin/inetutils-logger This is my suggestion, like you did with "/usr/bin/inetutils-traceroute". My hope is to have the tool from bsdutils present alongside the specialized "inetutils-logger" for uncommon purposes. > I guess you mean IPv6 when you say INET?

The logger from bsdutils uses only UNIX sockets, whereas inetutils-logger is able so sent messages directed to IPv4 and IPv6 INET sockets, hence my phrasing "INET socket", in addition message passing to host local UNIX sockets. > > There's also the options of adding IPv6 support (which would be > trivial) to util-linux's logger. My util-linux-2.19.1 does not supply anything similar to logger(1), and I would like to see a new tool available on all platforms.
