There is one thing missing in the buildservice package. The problem is that nspluginwrapper has to register new plugins which are installed. So there is some mechanism needed to recognize new installed 32bit plugins and register them with nspluginwrapper automatically. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

If ssh did not work, than it may be a different problem than missing nss modules. But I cannot reproduce:
- ssh works in all cases
hmm, I can't reproduce ATM. (Need an IPv6 setup again first)
- firefox does not work with both mdns_minimal and mdns4_minimal, if 32-bit nss-mdns is not installed
I don't know then. I can for sure reproduce that Firefox works, if either - IPv6 is disabled (about:config) - mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] - mdns_minimal (w/o the NOTFOUND rule) is used. Are you sure that you restarted Firefox when you changed nsswitch.conf?
- firefox works with both mdns_minimal and mdns4_minimal, if 32-bit nss-mdns is installed
I haven't tested this at all. I _don't_ have that installed and it still works for me if I use an option from above. In the end I agree that in theory there has to be a 32bit library of nss-mdns if a 32bit application is trying to use it (through nss) but I'm still wondering why the above options also work. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
