Yes, it can use dns. I was just asking if you ALSO had the hosts listed in your /etc/hosts file. If you did, than it would ask that first. I actually relay about 80 boxes to my loghost, and I prefer having them all listed in /etc/hosts. This way, if dns falls down, my logs still retain hostnames. I think the option your looking for is: use_fqdn (yes); -- Allen "Dawson, Kevin" wrote:

Ugh...no. Can't it use DNS to resolve? I had use_dns(yes) set but itss didn't work either. The number of hosts I'd have to add to /etc/hosts would be significant as we are relaying from *a bunch* of boxes to a central collection point.

Do you have the hosts listed in /etc/hosts?

I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times before (although I couldn't find it in the archives), but here it goes. My options line reads:

options { sync(0); time_reopen(10); log_fifo_size(100); long_hostnames(yes); chain_hostnames(yes); };

I'm running version 1.4.12 on Solaris and the problem is my messages are still listing the short hostname. Any thoughts on this?

Best Regards, Kevin.
