[Bug 1180497] In /etc/hosts Localhost declared valid both for IPV4 and IPV6 loop interfaces breaks some local servers
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180497 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1180497#c1 Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.com> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEW |RESOLVED CC| |kukuk@suse.com Resolution|--- |INVALID --- Comment #1 from Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.com> --- The developers are not correct, using two different names for 127.0.0.1 and ::1 will break most dual-stack applications or IPv6 only installations, as localhost would suddenly no longer be reachable. All linux distributions I'm aware of have something like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost ... ::1 localhost ... It is quite common that names resolve to an IPv4 and an IPv6 address (or even multiple ones). To me it looks more like they don't expect that a hostname can resolve to more than an IP address and that they need to adjust their code. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
