Specifically DNS resolution fails when ai_family is set to AF_UNSPEC in the second argument to getaddrinfo. AF_INET works as intended, so my understanding is that AF_UNSPEC should at least return the IPV4 address instead of failing. Attached is a small test program, which I hope shows the problem. The output on my side:
./dnstest novell.com AF_INET: 130.57.5.70 AF_INET6: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known AF_UNSPEC: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known
compare with localhost (which does not go through a dns server):
./dnstest localhost AF_INET: 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 AF_INET6: ::1 AF_UNSPEC: 127.0.0.1 ::1
I've been through much of the same troubleshooting as above, no success. ipv6 is disabled on my system (to at least have most of the gui internet apps 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.
