It turns out that the entry for the local machine (mit-eddie, in our case) has to appear as the FIRST entry in /etc/hosts, BEFORE the localhost entry. I'm told that rochester!bukys' fix to daemon.c/myhostname() from last week will fix not only the ``w'' class problem (which we had never noticed because we define w in the sendmail.cf file), but the syslog problem as well.
