https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462769 Summary: dns resolution problems - possible getaddrinfo() bugs Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: aharrison@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community User I discussed my problem originally in thread: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2008-12/msg00879.html I thought my problem might be related to bug id 441947, but was advised to create a new bug report since disabling ipv6 did not solve my problem. In a nutshell, everything worked fine with 10.2. I performed a fresh install of 11.1rc1 (my zypper updates are current as of today), now lots and lots of dns resolution problems. I am using the same name servers I used previously. I even ended up even restoring a copy of my resolv.conf from my 10.2 box, still no joy. (I use this same exact resolv.conf file on 75+ servers here at my location.) Firefox, konq, ssh, telnet, zypper, whois, etc, all fail most of the time when trying to resolve names, always requiring lots of retries before successfully being able to resolve a name. Yet the dig command *never* fails, even when I try to dig the address in question in the middle of my retries. In particular, the whois command fails complaining about the exact system call in the title of bug 441947: getaddrinfo(whois.crsnic.net): Name or service not known. I've rebooted several times to make sure the system was fresh after making my changes. I've combed over the logs. For troubleshooting, I changed my resolv.conf to point to a single name server instead of two. My dns servers handle the load of tens of thousands of customers, so if there were a problem with them, believe me, my doing a fresh linux install on my workstation would not be how I first find out about dns trouble. I have disabled ipv6. I also commented out the ipv6 related entries in /etc/hosts just to make sure it wasn't causing a problem. I have disabled all firewall selinux and apparmor services. I use neither dhcp nor NetworkManager. I have the problem with or without nscd running. I have pared down my nsswitch.conf so now it just contains: # grep '^[^#]' /etc/nsswitch.conf passwd: files ldap group: files ldap hosts: files dns networks: files services: files protocols: files rpc: files ethers: files netmasks: files netgroup: files publickey: files bootparams: files automount: files nis aliases: files My host.conf file is stock: # grep '^[^#]' /etc/host.conf order hosts, bind multi on Here's some info on my network configuration: # grep '^[^#]' /etc/sysconfig/network/config DEFAULT_BROADCAST="+" GLOBAL_POST_UP_EXEC="yes" GLOBAL_PRE_DOWN_EXEC="yes" CHECK_DUPLICATE_IP="no" DEBUG="no" USE_SYSLOG="yes" CONNECTION_SHOW_WHEN_IFSTATUS="no" CONNECTION_CHECK_BEFORE_IFDOWN="no" CONNECTION_CLOSE_BEFORE_IFDOWN="no" CONNECTION_UMOUNT_NFS_BEFORE_IFDOWN="no" CONNECTION_SEND_KILL_SIGNAL="no" MANDATORY_DEVICES="" WAIT_FOR_INTERFACES="20" FIREWALL="no" LINKLOCAL_INTERFACES="eth*[0-9]|tr*[0-9]|wlan[0-9]|ath[0-9]" IFPLUGD_OPTIONS="-f -I -b" NETWORKMANAGER="no" NM_ONLINE_TIMEOUT="0" NETCONFIG_MODULES_ORDER="dns-resolver dns-bind dns-dnsmasq nis ntp-runtime" NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER="resolver" NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SEARCHLIST="example.net foo.example.net" NETCONFIG_DNS_STATIC_SERVERS="10.10.10.181 10.10.10.240" NETCONFIG_NTP_POLICY="" NETCONFIG_NTP_STATIC_SERVERS="" NETCONFIG_NIS_POLICY="" NETCONFIG_NIS_SETDOMAINNAME="yes" NETCONFIG_NIS_STATIC_DOMAIN="" NETCONFIG_NIS_STATIC_SERVERS="" NETCONFIG_DNS_POLICY="" In desperation, I did add the repository I found in another bug report http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mtomaschewski:/Factory/openS... to zypper and upgraded sysconfig, but that did nothing.
