glibc mdns handling does not work all the time
Last modified: 2009-09-14 22:06:15 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.
Fixed package submitted to STABLE.
This patch seems to be missing in 10.1/10.2/STABLE.
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.
This is N/A by now since we use nss_mdns nowadays.
