Hi,
The +host feature allows to select log messages from a specific
host. Normally syslogd does a reverse lookup on the sender's
address. If that fails or if syslogd has been started with the -n
option, the +host is matched with the IP. Unfortunatelty IP addresses
consist of characters that are not allowed in syslog.conf. So take
the list of valid characters from FreeBSD.
ok?
