Hi Harry,

Sorry for the previous misfire...

I agree that listing the first part of the machine name in the ldmd.log file
leads to confusion/more difficult searching when there are multiple machines
with the same first name.  I am leaving your inquiry open for Steve to review
with the aim of solving this shortcoming.

Cheers,

Tom
