Problem with source labels

[Carter Bullard]

Hey David,
Its not the client code, they will do the right thing if argus identifies the format of the source id correctly.
Do you have an /etc/argus.conf file that defines the source id ?
If you run argus this way, does it get better ?

   argus -Xe \”1234\” -w - | ra -s +srcid

The X tells argus not to parse the /etc/argus.conf file.
