Actually both - the remote hosts are running syslog-ng as well with the exception of the routers which simply spit out messages w/o a syslog daemon. BTW, the syslogd daemon was able to resolve the full hostname without any entries in the /etc/hosts file. I changed to syslog-ng...no full hostnames. -----Original Message----- From: Nate Campi [mailto:nate@campin.net] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2001 2:45 PM To: syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu Subject: Re: [syslog-ng]fully qualified hostname help Also, are you referring to locally generated syslog messages or ones from remote hosts? The difference is important. On Thu, Oct 18, 2001 at 03:19:47PM -0700, Allen Bettilyon wrote:

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?
