My syslog-ng setup will resolve to hostnames as long as the /etc/resolv.conf or /etc/hosts entries are valid. If you ping the hosts logging to your box by IP does it resolve to the hostname? -----Original Message----- From: syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu [mailto:syslog-ng-bounces@lists.balabit.hu] On Behalf Of Speedy Sweedy Sent: Wednesday, May 25, 2005 12:34 PM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: Re: [syslog-ng] host$
Most likely, you have a borked syslog-ng.te that doesn't allow the syslog-ng process to read /etc/nsswitch.conf or similar, breaking DNS lookups.
I used an RPM to install syslog-ng - could I get away with downloading the source, compile it and replace the syslog-ng bin?
Grep through your logs and find any avc entries that reference
syslog-ng.
(And BTW - FC4 is about to escape, I'd *strongly* recommend upgrading
to it
if you're doing any SELinux work - the policy definitions have been worked on a *lot*. If you can't upgrade, at least get the updated SELinux RPMs (they should work OK on the FC3 kernel)).
Yeah, I've read about FC4 being much better for syslog-ng. I'm about ready to start over using the FC4 test3 iso's but didn't know what happens once fc4 is released as far as installing the new released version. _________________________________________________________________ Don't just Search.
