https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=259712 ------- Comment #8 from m.munnix@redcross.be 2007-04-03 03:29 MST ------- I investigated further with an strace on sshd. After the dns queries to our server 10.1.11.3, there is a multicast on address 224.0.0.251 which times out after 5 seconds probably searching for 163-67-87.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be.crb-sfs.local if I interpret this correctly. The man page on resolv.conf says about ndots:n sets a threshold for the number of dots which must appear in a name given to res_query()(see resolver(3)) before an initial absolute query will be made. The default for n is ``1'', meaning that if there are any dots in a name, the name will be tried first as an absolute name before any search list elements are appended to it. As there are 4 dots in 163-67-87.adsl-dyn.isp.belgacom.be, why does sshd try to use the search list ? Perhaps it does not use the resolver library correctly ? -- 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.
