Hello List, after using Bering 1.2 and Lince, stuffed in flashes on two Soekris 4801 boards for a year or so, I am playing with Bering uClibc 2.2.3. I find dnsmasq handy for resolving the /etc/hosts for local workstations. But I find it strange that dnsmasq will not resolve a machine name without a final dot in the string:
--- example ----------------------------------------------- C:\Documents and Settings\Tango Echo>ping isildur Ping request could not find host isildur. Please check the name and try again. C:\Documents and Settings\Tango Echo>ping isildur. Pinging isildur [10.8.0.2] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 10.8.0.2: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64 Reply from 10.8.0.2: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 --- end of example ----------------------------------------------- My /etc/hosts looks like: ----- 127.0.0.1 localhost 10.8.0.1 isengard 10.8.0.2 isildur 10.12.5.12 gandalf ----- and my dnsmasq.conf has: local=// If I use: --------------- local=/home/ expand-hosts domain=home --------------- then still there is no response to "ping isildur" while there is response to both "ping isildur." and "ping islidur.home". There are no dnsmasq error messages in the daemon.log. Is this behaviour due to my configuration error or is it normal? - Tom ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
