I recently installed nntp 1.5.9 on a Sun 3/280 running SunOS 4.1.
When receiving a post, nntpd tacks on an "Nntp-Posting-Host" header
with the hostname of the posting host.

What I was seeing was this header without the hostname.  I found that
in access.c, the external "hostname" was not being set when LOG wasn't
defined.

Line 131 of access.c which is

	(void) strcpy(hostname, host_name)

should be moved 2 lines down. (Out of the #ifdef LOG.)

Apply this fix at your own risk -- seems to work for me, but I only
spent 20 minutes finding the problem.
