Re: 'debug' priority?

I cannot confirm this. Here is an output from truss utility (only 
relevant part):

here the file has been created and open for appending, but nothing has 
been written to it.

now I've invoked something like 'logger -p local2.notice 'testik 11''.

Anyway, when I've tried to set priority for filter to 'debug', nothing 
has been logged. Is this normal? We have lost some quite important 
system logs in the past, so I'm trying to do some research to avoid this 
(messages on kernel.notice facility/priority weren't logged into file etc).

Thanks!
