I had the same issue with the rc2 stable release.  I moved up to the
4/18 snapshot and everything works great now.

Dear Balabit,

New Problem today:  >:>((
I am no longer getting any information, such as $FULLHOST,
$FACILITY,$MONTH, etc when using templates that worked fine with
1.6.0rc1.
Now my $HOST = "-", and the other values are null.
It is logging, but to the newly created "-" directory ( I was previously
logging to $HOST/$MONTH-$YEAR)
I could not download 1.6.0rc1 now - it has been removed from the Balabit
site, so I installed 1.5.26, and now the information is being parsed
just fine, again.
What is the change in rc2 that clobbered the values returned from the
templates?
Can you fix this please?
Can I get rc1 again?

Sorry, but I'm getting very wary of this product, as it does not seem to
have been tested under Solaris 8. Is this true?

Here's the OS and software configurations of note:

Solaris 8, with latest recommended patch cluster.
Libol 0.3.9
