syslog_ng logs everything as from nss_wins

[axxackall]

the box is a samba server with winbindd. By some reason it logs everything as it comes from nss_wins. I mean really everything: log records from dhcpd, named, EVEN from postfix and amavisd.

Of course log-files are really close-to useless, when you cannot say what program is logging, as it looks that nss_wins is the only program in your system, moreover when it looks like nss-wins does EVERYTHING in your system!

There is nothing in syslog_ng's mail-lists, so I don't know if it is a bug of syslog_ng, of samba or it is a specific bug of gentoo distro.

Any idea that can help me to find what's the problem and how to fix it?

If I understand You well, You should change the syslog_ng to metalog.

I don't return to metalog, thank you. Instead, I reemerged syslog_ng one more time and found that the problem has disappeared.

I've got the same problem but with metalog. Does anyone have a sollution for this problem?

Found it:
I edited /etc/nsswitch.conf and changed:

[N-S]

ok, my conf is different:

# /etc/nsswitch.conf:
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/nsswitch.conf,v 1.1 2005/05/17 00:52:41 vapier Exp $

passwd: compat
shadow: compat
group: compat

# passwd: db files nis
# shadow: db files nis
# group: db files nis

hosts: files dns wins
networks: files dns

services: db files
protocols: db files
rpc: db files
ethers: db files
netmasks: files
netgroup: files
bootparams: files

automount: files
aliases: files

As you can see the
hosts: files dns wins
already has dns in front of wins.

I'll try re-emerging syslog-ng.
