It seems like there are a LOT of these. Isn't it possible to make some options to handle them? I was thinking of options, but... what about this?
you might try to use the chain_hostnames() option.
I was under the impression that with these log entries: Jun-XX XX:XX:XX folly su: attempted login Jun-XX XX:XX:XX folly pppd: login successful Jun-XX XX:XX:XX folly ---mark--- Jun-XX XX:XX:XX last message repeated 5 times ...the resulting logs with chain_hostnames would be: Jun-XX XX:XX:XX folly folly su: attempted login Jun-XX XX:XX:XX folly folly pppd: login successful Jun-XX XX:XX:XX folly folly ---mark--- Jun-XX XX:XX:XX folly last message repeated 5 times I had a situation where I had to turn chain_hostnames off for this very reason. But that was a syslog-ng installation on a firewall that was relaying syslog entries, so I don't know if this is relevant to your suggestion or not...
