Subject:   [PATCH] Add syslogd option that suppresses hostname logging
Message-ID:  <BANLkTi=huoB5N-d5YRzkTkzvZMKB8QyarQ@mail.gmail.com>
next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help 
I've written a short patch for syslogd that adds a -H option.  Setting
that option will prevent syslogd from logging the hostname with every
log messages.   If there are no objections I'm going to commit this in
the next couple of days.
