Back in June I posted strange behavior by busybox/ping, but nothing has
changed. I'd like to repost the problem (thoughts, anyone?):

------->

3.1 busybox/ping behaves like ping6...

...when I ping anything in /etc/hosts

I've been using 3.1 for a while but just noticed this:

ping localhost

PING localhost (7f00:1:60ea:ffbf::): 56 data bytes
ping: can't create raw socket: Address family not supported by protocol

(ping something-else-in-/etc/hosts ... same as above)

This is the same behaviour as ping6. Why is this happening?

Also, I cannot send mail either:

echo "test"| mail -s "Test Mail" -d mydomain.net -h smtp.inmyhostsfile.net
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

nc: socket: Address family not supported by protocol
Error: Unknown response.
  RSET
  0:
Aborting due to connection error
  Killing child processes: 8309 8310

I have ping from a mandrake installation, which I renamed to ping4. No
problems pinging anything in the hosts file.

I have a bread & butter bering-uclibc 3.1 floppy installation and
host-file ping/name resolution is messed up there too.
