Hi,
doing 'strace /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start', I can't find something strange,
I don't know about Linux/strace, but on most systems, you would have to use an option to the tracing utility to trace calls of child processes. Looks to me like you are tracing the shell process only. Try to run the syslog-ng BINARY from strace, and look for problems like Ed suggested.
Is there someone who is running a chrooted syslog-ng running under a non root user as a log collector without any (hostname resolution) problem ? I am - but I have "use_dns(no)" in my config.
Same here. I don't see any technical reason why this wouldn't work, unless you are missing resolv libraries (e.g. on Solaris) or supplementary configuration files in the jail. Gregor.
