Sure. I only talk about the scope:Link addresses reported by ifconfig. I was shown that on FreeBSD, ifconfig report these addresses with the interface name appended, making sure the address show by ifconfig actually work as is. Perhaps an idea for Linux too. Anyway, Joachim, do you agree that the addresses returned by libnss-myhostname when running 'getent hosts $(uname -n)' should be pingable addresses? If so, I believe libnss-myhostname should be changed. Besides, I suspect one would never put a IPv6 link scoped address in /etc/hosts. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
