syslog and hostname ?

[aphro <nate@firetrail.com>]

can someone tell me where syslog gets the hostname from?  its marking all
my logs using the hostname localhost.

my $HOSTNAME is still set to 'aphro'

my /etc/hosts has a line:
127.0.0.1	localhost aphro

and i recently added a domain called 'aphro' to my local DNS so if i
'nslookup aphro' it resolves to 10.10.10.1

ever since i made the changes syslog thinkks the hostname is changed ..

ideas ??


thanks!!

nate
