I'm using sysklogd 1.5.5. All I want is to get local0 entries in /var/log/vr file.

My conf:

*.*;local0.none /var/log/messages
local0.* /var/log/vr

When I do

logger -p local0.info "local0 test from logger"

the message appear in /var/log/vr file. That's ok. But the following sends message to /var/log/messages instead of /var/log/vr:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <syslog.h>

int main(int argc, char const* argv[])
{
    openlog(NULL, LOG_PID, LOG_LOCAL0);
    syslog(LOG_INFO, "local0 test from app\n");
    closelog();

    return 0;
}

Where am I wrong?
