[news.software.nntp] NNTP 1.5.9 bug or Bnews 2.11.19 or ...???

tim@pilchuck.Data-IO.COM (Tim Rosmus) (07/25/90)

SYSTEM - VAX 11/750 - mt Xinu 4.3+NFS

Given the following host names ...
	pilchuck
	dataio
	ranier

And the following error messages in the nntp syslog file
plus /usr/adm/messages ...

Jul 24 09:11:51 pilchuck nntpd[18345]: /usr/bin/rnews: uck   : is not an identifier
Jul 24 09:11:51 pilchuck nntpd[18345]: /usr/bin/rnews: o     : is not an identifier
Jul 24 09:11:51 pilchuck nntpd[18345]: /usr/bin/rnews: r     : is not an identifier


Note that the host names are being chopped off after the 5th character and
the remainder is being put into the log messages.

Does anyone know where this is coming from?  I've looked through all of the
nntp source plus the B-2.11.19 news source but just can't seem to spot it.
Could this be coming from syslog itself or is there truly a bug in NNTP
or Bnews?
