will you reply with your best recommendation on what loghost should be?

what is the value of making loghost 127.0.0.1? instead of the
machine's hme0 interface? or this is simply in error?

A:

correct config is setting loghost as 127.0.0.1.
however, in networks where syslog is redirected to another machine,
loghost must be set to that machine.
