You are correct that this was inadvertently done when setting most 
of the other variables to LOCAL. I suspect that this change will not cause 
significant grief given the accompanying improvements made to the 
log client:

o it no longer blocks iocInit() if the log server isnt available
	even if iocLogDisable is FALSE
o the log client also now periodically attempts to reconnect to the 
	log server if it is restarted

This is fixed here at LANL (but not yet committed to CVS at APS).
