Description Michael Schröder 2005-09-06 12:47:22 UTC

mdns hostname lookup fails if nscd is running or getaddrinfo() is used. This 
is because /etc/host.conf is not read in those cases.

Comment 1 Michael Schröder 2005-09-06 12:49:40 UTC

Fixed package submitted to STABLE.

Comment 2 Michael Schröder 2007-09-05 15:18:33 UTC

This patch seems to be missing in 10.1/10.2/STABLE.

Comment 3 Michael Schröder 2007-09-05 15:20:28 UTC

reassign to glibc maintainer.
(patch was glibc-2.3.3-mdns-hconf.diff)
It's actually not only about mdns, but also the other configuration parameters from /etc/host.conf.

Comment 4 Petr Baudis 2009-09-14 22:06:15 UTC

This is N/A by now since we use nss_mdns nowadays.
