According to "man logger", this is what is running under...
-t tag Mark every line in the log with the specified tag rather than the
default of current login name. Use -t tag[N] to insert specific
decimal process id instead of id of logger.
... but it could be a double uid in /etc/passwd - so if you have set
openvpn trun as "user bar", and foo+bar share the same uid, the reverse
mapping done by logger ("what user am I running under?") might end up
showing "foo".
I'd add a call
logger "my id: `id -a`"
to see what it has to say...
