Ah, you must be using Linux. Should have said that up front.
Yes.
doing 'strace /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start', I can't find something strange,
Look for "file not found" errors or anything else related to file access.
Can't find any error like this
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.
Could you try with "use_dns(yes)" ?
How about posting the log - make sure there is no private information in it. If it's too huge put it up on the web somewhere and post the URL to the list.
See strace log attached (I'm running syslog-ng in debug mode with -d -v)
