[syslog-ng][PATCH] use_fqdn with gethostname() not returning fqdn

[Balazs Scheidler]

Hi,

Thanks for the contribution to syslog-ng and sorry for not answering so
long. 

The problem I have with your patches that I'd prefer not to rely on
getaddrinfo() functions as I'm a bit afraid of portability issues. Are
there any other way (with gethostbyaddr for example) to determine
network local name?
