4 I have recently setup logwatch-7.3.2 on a few of my machines along with
5 sendmail. For all but one of the machines, I get emails that have the
6 hostname in the subject line (Logwatch for capitol (Linux)) as well as
7 on the line that reads 'Logfiles for Host' (Logfiles for Host: capitol).
8
9 However, on one machine, the hostname is not resolved correctly. The
10 email has the subject line 'Logwatch for 10 (Linux)' and in the body of
11 the email has 'Logfiles for Host: 10'. The IP address of this machine
12 is 10.192.202.xxx, and the hostname is high.
13
14 When I do a `hostname -va` on high, I get:
15 gethostname()=`high'
16 Resolving `high' ...
17 Result: h_name=`high.opcdir.intranet'
18 Result: h_aliases=`high'
19 Result: h_aliases=`localhost'
20 Result: h_addr_list=`127.0.0.1'
21 high localhost
22 When I run the same command on congress, which has a working logwatch, I
23 get:
24 gethostname()=`congress'
25 Resolving `congress' ...
26 Result: h_name=`congress.opcdir.intranet'
27 Result: h_aliases=`congress'
28 Result: h_aliases=`localhost'
29 Result: h_addr_list=`127.0.0.1'
30 congress localhost
31 This seems to me to eliminate the possibility of a misconfigured
32 hostname on high.
33
34 Does anyone have an idea as to what is causing logwatch to not resolve
35 the hostname correctly?
36
37 Thanks,
