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;
