[syslog-ng]Problems compiling libol / syslog-ng

[William Yodlowsky]

Hello,

I have syslog-ng configured with create_dirs(yes) and $HOST in several 
places, and I find that occasionally during a restart (HUP or 
stop/start) it will create some directories with the IP address of the
machine instead of the resolved hostname.  I have these options in use:

options { long_hostnames(off); keep_hostname(yes); use_dns(no); };

All systems that are sending logs to this machine have an entry in the
/etc/hosts file locally, yet some end up with a logfile with this in it:

Aug 12 11:51:11 a.b.c.d syslog-ng version 1.5.13 going down
Aug 12 11:51:11 a.b.c.d syslog-ng version 1.5.13 starting
Aug 12 17:29:00 a.b.c.d syslog-ng version 1.5.13 going down
Aug 12 17:29:03 a.b.c.d syslog-ng version 1.5.13 starting

a.b.c.d is in private address space.

I should note that this happened with 1.5.10 as well.

I haven't yet moved to 1.5.19 yet, but likely will soon.  I'm running 
Solaris 8 sparc on both the clients and server.

Thanks in advance.
