Summary

0000872: Syslogd does not report hostname to remote servers

Description

Currently the syslogd does not report the client's hostname to the remote server. The syslogd does, however report locally (to a file) the hostname. I belive this should be fixed.

Additional Information

in syslogd.c in the logMessage procedure adding a line like this:

if (strlen(LocalHostName) > 0) {
msg = LocalHostName + ' ' + msg;
}

before the bit of code that adds the timestamp... should fix this problem.
