Removing localhost is wrong, both addresses are really "localhost". ii) is no option for me, because this breaks usage if you have IPv6 only daemons running, people don't expect that in this case "localhost" isn't working anymore. iii) may confuse applications using libresolv or derivates from bind, who don't know about the latest glibc change. iv) I'm not sure if duplicate entries are really allowed/to be expected. But have also no time to dig through all the RFCs. So in the end I see only i), but without knowing why the change was made, it is complicated to decide. -- 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.
