Correct me if im wrong, but the way I understood it was:
Client connects to server, asks server to run application running on port 2401
{cvspserver}. Syslogd traps this request with an entry to syslog with the
connect string. Simultaneously to this request logging, runcvs kicks off the
actual cvs binary with its settings.
How would the runcvs be generating the entry, and if that *is* the case how do
I change it to catch the machine name?
Thanks

I guess "connect from 172.16.165.144 (172.16.165.144)" is generated by runcvs
not syslog nor syslog-ng. You have to force runcvs to do the lookup.
