Subject: Getting IP address using UDP Socket

Hi Ruby Forum...

I have a simple UDP Socket that I'm opening which listens for Syslog
messages on port 514.
I am receiving all syslog messages with no problem but I need to log
what IP address is sending the messages.
I have looked through the UDP Socket documentation but I can't seem to
figure out how to call it based on a received message from another host.
If anyone can help point me in the right direction, it would be greatly
appreciated....thanks.
Here is my working code:
[code]
server = UDPSocket.open
server.bind('0.0.0.0', '514')
while true do
   syslog_message = server.recv(400)
   server.addr
   puts syslog_message
end
[/code]
