Could be. What do you believe 'getent hosts $(hostname)' should print if glibc did the right thing? Should the following work on a machine with link local IPv6 addresses? ping6 $(getent hosts $(hostname)|awk '{print $1}') This fail when libnss-myhostname is enabled. It work without libnss-myhostname enabled, because getent return ::1. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
