Hi James,

Make sure that your clients are all properly issuing the EDITADDR
directive in the gnats client-server protocol (this is how gnats fills
in the State-Changed-By field).

Depending on the version of gnatsweb you have, you want it to send a
client_cmd("editaddr $db_prefs{'user'}"); in the 'sub submitedit {...}
code.

However, you also need for $db_prefs{'user'} to have the value of the
username which will be in a user cookie, so if cookies are disabled or
the user is not entering anything to get that information filled out,
then, you won't have any useful information for the editaddr command
to the server and you will get the 'null' results you are seeing.

	Good luck,
	-- Mark
