Hi, don't know if I'm doing something stupid here, or if I'm missing something, but here goes.. I have been running 1.3.6 successfully on Solaris 2.7 as a central logging solution, but I upgraded to 1.3.7 to check the new DNS functionality, and ran into some name resolution problems. I added the use_dns(yes) and use_fqdn(no) options to the options section of the configuration file, but my logfiles were still being created with <facility>.log.<ip_address> rather than <facility>.log.<hostname>, as had previously been the case with 1.3.6. I also tried removing the long_hostnames option in case it was conflicting with the new DNS code, but to no avail. I used the same version of libol for both, as no changes seem to have been made to the libs (0.2.8., Dec 3). Am I missing something, or has anyone else noticed this behaviour? Maybe something to do with the Solaris 7 resolver? Thanks, Ger. -- Ger Mulcahy, Technical Consultant, Harvard Business School

I've fixed these problems, and will release 1.3.8 shortly. The meaning of use_dns was reverted, and if IP addresses are used an additional \0 byte is added to each logline. -- Bazsi PGP info: KeyID 9AF8D0A9 Fingerprint CD27 CFB0 802C 0944 9CFD 804E C82C 8EB1 url: http://www.balabit.hu/pgpkey.txt
