Hi,

Well I'm far from a PERL expert but I've already done a few stuff in PERL 
and have some regexp knowledge, you are right this field is too much and 
that's Solaris syslog which adds this, on Linux you won't see that extra 
information. Now on Solaris I have no clue on how to turn this extra 
information off and I also wonder if it's a good idea to turn that off.

So I think I will need to go and modify graphdefanglib.pl to make it detect 
the OS and if it's Solaris then it will use another regexp syntax.

Is anyone interested by me doing that ? I just need to know what you guys 
out there (especially the developer of graphdefang) what kind of method you 
would like me to use to detect the OS. I could do launch a `uname -s` from 
the PERL script but maybe there are better methods ?

Regards
