It turns out this is not the case. There is a critical regression in rsyslog as a result of this patch; the value may not be *used* without $PreserveFQDN, but the code to *set* it is still executed, and there's an off-by-one error in the patch causing malloc corruption (bug #1187876). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022545 Title: Backport upstream bugfix "$PreserveFQDN on" not working properly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rsyslog/+bug/1022545/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
