Hey CS,
I'm thinking the `hostname` is returning more than what the "-e" option can handle.  What does hostname() return?

Subject: [ARGUS] radium

Hey people,
 
 It reaches almost end of the year so as Carter expects to release it as soon as possible and I know everyone are in christmas and new year mood but I still hope argus is well tested before released. I guess every argus client tools should be tested properly so that it runs in production environment pretty well. 
 
 Today I come across this when I test radium, it runs well on FreeBSD - 
 
 radium -S 127.0.0.1:561: <http://127.0.0.1:561>  -d -e `hostname` -P 562
 radium[1873]: 21:59:10.276430 started
 
 sockstat -4
 USER     COMMAND    PID   FD PROTO  LOCAL ADDRESS         FOREIGN ADDRESS
 root     radium     1874  3  tcp4   *:562                 *:*
 
 However when I do the same thing on OpenBSD 
 
 radium -S 127.0.0.1:561: <http://127.0.0.1:561>  -d -e `hostname` -P 562
 Radium Version 3.0.0.rc.36
 usage: radium [-d] [-f conf] [raoptions]
 options: -d             run as a daemon.
          -f conf.file   read radium configure file.
 
 It doesn't do anything, but showing its options, I have tried various tuning in config file but it doesn't do much either. One thing I'm wondering is that if radium is the multiplexor for argus and it allows remote access to query the record(ra style), I think it should have priviledge dropping feature like argus too. As what I'm seeing is radium will be used in large scale deployment of argus and it needed to be run securely.  
 
 Thanks. 
 
 Merry Christmas & Happy New Year 2007!!!!!
