Comment 2 Glen Foster 2001-03-12 19:40:59 UTC 
This defect considered MUST-FIX (show-stopper) for Florence Gold
Comment 3 Erik Troan 2001-03-12 21:36:21 UTC 
This is hardly a show stopper. It causes %m to appear in some logs instead of
"localhost".
Comment 4 Glen Foster 2001-03-12 22:38:06 UTC 
Take it up with Mike Fulbright (he made the call) and leave qa-whiteboard alone,
please.
Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2001-03-12 22:39:47 UTC 
ewt it has a patch - just need you to say if its ok or not.
Comment 6 Erik Troan 2001-03-13 00:14:24 UTC 
I don't like the patch -- I'd rather remove the %m's whereever possible to save
code space. It doesn't need to be done for this release though, as it doesn't
actually cause any problems.

I'll let you and Glen sort it out.
