Subject:   Telnet problem under 4.1-RC
Message-ID:  <46060.963943309@pinhead.parag.codegen.com>

Hello.  I'm seeing an odd telnet problem on 4.1-RC.  I track RELENG_4
and just updated my machine (pinhead) from a source checkout and build
from 14-15th (Friday-Saturday) including installkernel and mergemaster.

All hostname lookups are failing from telnet, but only from telnet and
only hostnames.  Here's the problem:

    $ telnet localhost
    localhost: No address associated with hostname
    $ nslookup localhost
    Server:  localhost.parag.codegen.com
    Address:  127.0.0.1

    Name:    localhost.parag.codegen.com
    Address:  127.0.0.1

    $ ping -c 1 localhost
    PING localhost.parag.codegen.com (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
    64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=255 time=0.167 ms

    --- localhost.parag.codegen.com ping statistics ---
    1 packets transmitted, 1 packets received, 0% packet loss
    round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 0.167/0.167/0.167/0.000 ms

    $ telnet 127.0.0.1
    Trying 127.0.0.1...
    Connected to localhost.parag.codegen.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    login: ^D
    Connection closed by foreign host.
    $

ftp/ssh/etc all work fine with the same hostnames.  telnet works with an
IP address but fails to lookup *any* hostname - local or otherwise - so
it doesn't seem to be a telnetd problem.  ftp works fine to localhost.

I just now updated my copy of the CVS tree and updated /usr/src but
nothing in the usr.bin/telnet directory has been updated.  I can't spot
anything obvious in the CVS logs either.

Anyone have any ideas I can try out to figure out what's going on?
(Odds are I've forgotten something.)  Thanks in advance.
