I am trying to write some custom messages in my dmesg output. I tried:

logger "Hello"

but this does not work. It exits without error, but no "Hello" appears int the output of:

dmesg

I am using a Fedora 9, and it seems that there is no syslogd/klogd daemon running. However, all my kernel messages are succesfully written in the dmesg buffer.

Any idea?
