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

[Guillaume LACHENAL]

The last missing lib was :

8677  open("/lib/libresolv.so.2", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)

Thanks to all who helped me.

But as I'm just starting playing with syslog-ng, I think I'll be back 
quickly with
some other questions ... ;-)

Regards,
Guillaume

You're right !

8561  open("/etc/resolv.conf", O_RDONLY) = 5
8561  open("/etc/host.conf", O_RDONLY)  = -1 ENOENT (No such file or 
directory)

question : what's the difference, in name resolution process, between 
/etc/hosts.conf
and /etc/nsswitch.conf

my updated config :

$JAIL/etc/resolv.conf is ok and working (tested outside the jail)
$JAIL/etc/nsswitch.conf contain "hosts:          dns"
$JAIL/etc/hosts.conf contain "order bind"

syslog-ng continue to resolve hostnames only if they are in 
$JAIL/etc/hosts
