Maybe you have a flaky syslog() call that writes UDP packets to the local host, rather than using the unix-domain socket at /dev/log - when the packet arrives, the syslogd gets the source address of the packet (which will be 127.0.0.1), and looks it up (usually in /etc/hosts), where it's getting the name "localhost". If you want to fix that, change the entry in /etc/hosts (on my laptop, it looks like this: 127.0.0.1 turing-police.cc.vt.edu localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 turing-police.cc.vt.edu localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
