dhcpd syslog message no longer shows client Hostname?



  Apologies to the list for asking about an issue with a very old system.  But, I have a router that I've failed to plan an upgrade for for quite some time, running dhcpd 3.0.3 on NetBSD 5.2.x.

  I reconfigured an internal network last night, and noticed that where in /var/log/messages I used to see the client "Hostname" value, I am no longer.  I'm seeing the local address of the server/router (Server-ID), where I was before, but note a lack of client identifier in the log where I used to see it.  An example of an attach this morning:

Dec 30 06:35:47 server dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.16.12.28 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff (RossFamilyiPad) via vlan2
Dec 30 06:35:48 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.16.12.28 (172.16.12.30) from aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff (RossFamilyiPad) via vlan2
Dec 30 06:35:48 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.16.12.28 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff (RossFamilyiPad) via vlan2

 I'm now seeing:

Dec 30 23:33:09 server dhcpd: DHCPOFFER on 172.16.8.61 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via vlan2
Dec 30 23:33:10 server dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 172.16.8.61 (172.16.8.63) from aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via vlan2
Dec 30 23:33:10 server dhcpd: DHCPACK on 172.16.8.61 to aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff via vlan2

  I assigned fixed-addresses to a number of devices, by hardware ethernet address, including the aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff device shown here.  Is that the reason I'm not longer seeing the client identifier/Hostname parameter in the logs?  Is there any way I can turn that back on?  I don't see in the man pages a way to control/influence what is logged.

  Thanks.....
