Gawd I hope so, else we have a nasty bug  :-)

couple of possibilities.
1. fwiw, which version of awffull? Shouldn't matter, but just in case.
2. how are you getting the logs read by awffull? piped?
3. check that the logs don't have the names in them - I have no idea how/why
this happens, but I have often seen apache do this. Even with hostnamelookups
off. :-/
4. make sure you have no configs loaded at all; and go for a really reduced
test. eg:
  awffull -o OUT --use_geoip access.log.gz

ie. nothing in /etc/awffull.conf, or ./awffull.conf

5. If still no joy? just process ~ 10 lines of logfile, but use '-vv' when you
run awffull. that will dump a full config that you've grabbed.



See how we go with that, and go from there.


Cheers!
