chroot and hostname resolution problem [was : Re: [syslog-ng]centralized loghost]

[Guillaume LACHENAL]

can't find ktrace

doing 'strace /etc/init.d/syslog-ng start', I can't find something 
strange,
but this kind of things if out of my knowledge.

I can send the log if someone could help.

Is there someone who is running a chrooted syslog-ng running under a
non root user as a log collector without any (hostname resolution) problem 
?

The jail is correctly configured.
I've checked the necessary libs w/ 'ldd syslog-ng' and build the
cache with 'ldconfig' (chrooted of course)
/etc/nsswitch.conf & /etc/resolv.conf are in the jail too

I'm currently running 1.5.21 w/ libol-0.3.3

/etc/nsswitch.conf is available in the jail
ktrace & truss are command not found on the box, i'll search for it

when not chrooted, syslog-ng correctly resolve hostnames.

Does your system also require /etc/nsswitch.conf in the chroot?  Do
a ktrace/truss on the startup in the chroot and see if it finds all
the files it needs to do DNS lookups.
