Thanks - I am trying my best ;) And, if you have not already done so, I'd 
appreciate if you could rate rsyslog at freshmeat.net, it's just a simple click 
(even if you need to create an account it doesn't take long). It helps us get 
momentum and this is as important as code quality ;)

You can do it here (middle of the page):

OK, that was fairly easy to do. I have created a special version for you:

http://download.rsyslog.com/rsyslog/rsyslog-3.21.2-Test1.tar.gz

It contains a new config directive that allows you to specify the hostname, see 
last sample on

http://www.rsyslog.com/doc-imuxsock.html

In my lab it works, but I would appreciate if you could test and verify.

Thanks,
Rainer
