The following reply was made to PR bin/2638; it has been noted by GNATS. From: roberto@keltia.freenix.fr (Ollivier Robert) To: faulkner@utgard.hos.net Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: bin/2638: gethostbyname does not work with hosts with underscores. Date: Sun, 2 Feb 1997 21:07:45 +0100 According to Boyd Faulkner: > gethostbyname does not work with hostnames that contain an underscore. > ping puma_cb19.austx.tandem.com should produce host resolution but not ping. > <Host is behind firewall>. 2.1.6.1 works and returns an address. That's expected. "_" is forbidden in hostnames and bind now enforces it. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@keltia.freenix.fr FreeBSD keltia.freenix.fr 3.0-CURRENT #37: Mon Jan 27 23:21:10 CET 1997
