[syslog-ng]newbie questions about hostname related options

[syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu]

I got syslog-ng working and am happy with it but
I had one question about necessary syslog-ng.conf
options that is bugging me.

I don't know what hostname related options are necessary
for a little log server with 3 clients:

use_fqdn
keep_hostname
long_hostnames
chain_hostnames

I remember NEEDING chain_hostnames(off) to solve a
problem but I wonder:

1. if problem could have been solved with another
   option in list above

2. what are minimum options that make a good little
   syslog-ng installation.
   (I wonder if keep_hostname(yes) solves 99% of the
    problems and is good enough.  I don't know.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Chris
