I'm configuring Solaris 10 11/06 with multiple zones and trying to get syslog logging to an external loghost. I have nsswitch.conf set up in the global and all zones to look in files, then dns. No NIS is configured.
I have the /etc/hosts entry for the external syslog host marked with "loghost." In one of my zones, "syslog -d" tells me that it thinks it's loghost, but the loghost line in /etc/hosts is clearly a different IP address. It *will* log to the external host if I specify the host explicitly in a rule in syslog.conf. In my global zone, "syslog -d" doesn't think that it's loghost, and that is correct given its /etc/host. It won't, however, log to loghost via "@loghost" in syslog.conf, but it will if I do so via the specific host name. Any suggestions on how to try to debug this problem? -I tried flushing name caches, and rebooted the system and the behavior stayed the same. -The fact that explicitly specifying the log host in syslog.conf suggests that packets are flowing correctly; log messages are received at the loghost when its host name is specified. -I keep thinking that this must be a naming problem, but don't know where to look but at /etc/hosts and dns-- the dns server has no loghost defined.
