Yes, ping does not parse idn hostnames, this post is about BIND related tools. ping makes no use of them. To fix ping: - Port it to use unprivileged ICMP sockets. so the binary is no longer ever running with elevated capabiltiies (cap_net_raw in current products, setuid root in other releases) and the risk of linking another library (in this case idnkit or whatever) is lowered. - make it understand IDN with such library. - profit :-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
