|    inet hostname overrides system name?    |
|    18 Sep 18 06:00:01    |
   
   Hi Andrew,   
      
   In my quest to override nodelist settings with those in mbsetup, I discovered   
   that anytime a setting was put in Inet hostname (7.x.3), any other logging   
   reporting (mbout n ... and log files), show the BBS name as the Inet   
   Hostname. Can figure out why it should change the BBS name?   
      
   lib/nodelist.c around line 764.   
      
    /*   
    * Get system name   
    */   
    if ((q=strchr(p,',')))   
    *q++ = '\0';   
    if (ndrecord && strlen(nd.Nl_hostname)) {   
    Syslog('+', "getnlent: %s system name override with %s",   
   ascfnode(addr,0xff), nd.Nl_hostname);   
    nodebuf.name = nd.Nl_hostname;   
    } else   
    nodebuf.name = p;   
      
   ...deon
