[opensuse-factory] nil in /etc/hosts
I just discovered that my /etc/hosts file is full of "nil" elements where it should have, for example 127.0.0.1 loclhost. This, of course, disturbed part of the working. I think I'm not the only one to have suche things (seen in internet, and probably on an other suse machine, but I can only see it next week). This seems to come from the install, several month ago, so difficult to trace. Do somebody have an idea of the reason a defaut install can do this? thanks jdd the file: 127.0.0.1 nil # special IPv6 addresses ::1 localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback fe00::0 nil ff00::0 nil ff02::1 nil ff02::2 nil ff02::3 nil -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It is a bug, Yast uses 'nil' as a special undefined value. Something went wrong.

Well, the yast logs might still contain valuable information (unless you have used Yast heavily).

No idea, but it's definitely a bug, use bugzilla.novell.com (don't forget to attach the Yast logs). -- Best Regards Ladislav Slezák Yast Developer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: lslezak@suse.cz Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 960 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
