Lance,

	Are you suggesting that all the logs coming into the server node from 
the client nodes are coming in as local6?

	I've beeen looking around the net for people who've solved this problem 
and never saw this mentioned.   The messages come over with the
node name first, but that's it, and they all wind up in the messages 
file on the server node.

	There is a way to do this?
