Hello.
Sorry to post again even though I've been told I should post
to -questions.. but I believe this is a bug.
Here is some more info on my configuration:
(I rebuilt the kernel but this behaviour was present in GENERIC, too)
-bash-2.05b# uname -a
FreeBSD jupiter.noonlights.net 5.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE #0: Wed May 28
11:50:07 CEST 2003
root@jupiter.noonlights.net:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/JUPITER01 i386
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/rc.conf
keymap="swissgerman.iso.acc"
moused_enable="YES"
saver="warp"
defaultrouter="192.168.1.1"
hostname="jupiter.noonlights.net"
ifconfig_rl0="inet 192.168.1.5 netmask 255.255.255.0"
sendmail_enable="YES"
sshd_enable="YES"
linux_enable="YES"
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.noonlights.net localhost
192.168.1.5 jupiter.noonlights.net jupiter
192.168.1.5 jupiter.noonlights.net.
193.5.56.6 www.freebsd.org myfreebsd
note the wrong IP for www.freebsd.org!! just for testing purposes!
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/host.conf
hosts
bind
-bash-2.05b# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain noonlights.net
nameserver 195.190.166.166
nameserver 195.190.166.167
-bash-2.05b# host localhost
Host not found.
-bash-2.05b# host localhost.noonlights.net
Host not found.
-bash-2.05b# nslookup localhost
Server: ns1.ticino.com
Address: 195.190.166.166
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
-bash-2.05b# host jupiter.noonlights.net
Host not found.
-bash-2.05b# hostname
jupiter.noonlights.net
-bash-2.05b# host www.freebsd.org
www.freebsd.org has address 216.136.204.117
www.freebsd.org mail is handled (pri=10) by mx1.freebsd.org
See? /etc/hosts is completely ignored..
If I missed something, I'd be grateful if somebody could
let me know... for I'm new to /etc/nsswitch.conf.. but after
reading the manpage I have no clue left.. just an idea that
is a bug..
Thank you.
