Just recently I've encountered several incidents where syslogd is dying right after it re-initializes due to a HUP signal. The core file suggests syslogd was in a gethostbyaddr() call in the cvthname() subroutine at the time of the signal. The HUP signal handler makes gethostbyname() calls. Is this a potential problem? I'm running 2.2.5-RELEASE . -- Erik Rantapaa rantapaa@uswest.net
