Linux HOSTS file question

[Flagg]

I am trying to setup syslogd to send its message over to my windows box (I am running kiwi syslog daemon) I have read that man page and some links on google. Is it required that you name the hosts your sending your syslog to "loghost"? And if so, is it possible to point the IP of the linux box to more than one name? Example

192.168.1.3 loghost
192.168.1.3 mypc

You should not need to add "loghost" to the ip in the '/etc/hosts' file. Just the IP should be fine. If it is not working I would make sure that all your config files are correct, and make sure that the Kiwi syslog server is in fact running, and listening on the correct port.

besides that, yes you can have more than one hosts alias to the same ip address.

hmm okay. Il'll have to double check my config files. Thanks for the help
