SYSLOG generating duplicate entries

[Greg G]

I'm getting duplicate entries from syslog. Well, they're not quite
duplicates. One has the "short" hostname and the other has the FQDN.
For example:

Oct 27 10:36:40 myhost xinetd[18950]: EXIT: myservice status=0 pid=21430
duration=1(sec)
Oct 27 10:36:40 myhost.mydomain.net xinetd[18950]: EXIT: myservice
status=0 pid=21430 duration=1(sec)


Any idea how I can stop this? My syslog.conf entry is
local0.info /var/log/servicelog


Thanks.

Not to that file, no. The messages from local0.info aren't going to
my console file at all. I don't really want them to, either.

Can you post your syslog.conf file? There are some innocuous looking
entries that can exist there that can cause serious problems. Without
seeing this file, it is difficult to know what might be going on.
