I think that this would be what people would expect. IMHO, >the old behavior was buggy. I think it's worth mentioning. Is there any other system where syslogd refreshes it's idea of a hostname?

I don't think it needs much said about it, but a few words on it would be reasonable. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
