Dear readers, After modifying the hostname as device.project with `hostname device.project` and in /etc/myname and starting a syslogd debug instance with -h , i see the hostname logged is only 'device' not 'device.project'
This could be a feature, as a hostname is not a FQDN but it looks inconsistent with hostname displaying device.project and the log using only the first part. Would a diff to syslogd; logging the name found in the configuration or (kern.hostname) instead of a modified one be a bug breaking some auto configuration with DHCP or a feature ? Moreover just like -h send the hostname , in a SSL setup it would be useful to log the CN of the client certificat , with -i maybe, since it is a strong ID sorting logs with that feels more reliable than ip, or modified hostnames. I may miss some important legacy behavior but a `-i` option that logs the CN after the hostname in a similar manner looks non breaking and useful. Thanks for reading, I Look forward to having opinions on that. -- -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
