Hi Bazsi, Thanks for the quick reply. I did and that fixed the problem. Since that was the only problem I ran into in 64-bit mode, I would like to be able to compile it that way again for consistency with other applications. Do you have a quick thought as to which data structures might be affected by te 64-bit compile that are related to the recvfrom part of the code?

I am still trying to solve this problem.
I have verirified from debugging that there is some disconnect in the values salen and addrlen and between
A_RECV(read, closure->max_log_line - closure->pos, closure-> buffer + closure->pos, (abstract_addr *) &sabuf, &salen);
in syslog-ng-1.6rc0/src/sources.c and
res = recvfrom(closure->fd, buffer, length, 0, (struct sockaddr *) addr, (socklen_t *) addrlen);
in libol-0.3.9/src/io.c. salen is set to 256 before and after the A_RECV() is called, but addrlen is set to 0 and sockaddr seems to point to nothing in before recvfrom() is called. As a result recvfrom() simply doesn't record the address information of the sending host.
This is on SunOS-5.8-sparc in 64-bit mode with gcc 3.2.1 compiling 64-bit binaries.
Anyway, the result is that syslog-ng is unable to record the address of the sending host and winds up prepending all logged messages with it's own hostname, rather than the sending host's.
With all of the casting and and abstraction involved in the code, I am not sure what to try next.
Any suggestions? Is this a 64-bit problem?
syslog-ng has never been compiled in 64bit userspace, therefore it is almost certain that you will run into problems.
IMHO you should try to compile syslog-ng as a 32 bit executable.
