I am setting this bug to fix released based on the testing done with Hardy Heron. ** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- resolver breaks several apps with all-numeric hostnames https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 21235] Re: resolver breaks several apps with all-numeric hostnames
I say that sudo outputting an error when the hostname and localhost name do not match is bug 32906 which was recently fixed in Hardy Heron. -- resolver breaks several apps with all-numeric hostnames https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 21235] Re: resolver breaks several apps with all-numeric hostnames
Ubuntu 8.04 beta: All numeric hostname (such as 084202074190) is not a problem anymore. --- However, sudo outputs an error message if the hostname and the localhost value in /etc/hosts do not match. You can easily test it: 0) Start couple of gnome-terminal windows and become a root or sudo user. If your sudo stops working and you ain't have a root-window available then... $ sudo -s 1) Check the actual localhost value in /etc/hosts file. In my case it is "beta-blocker". $ cat /etc/hosts # --- /etc/hosts -- 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 beta-blocker ... # 2) Change the hostname to something else. Sudo still works fine. $ sudo hostname abc123 And checkit $ hostname abc123 The hostname and the value in /etc/hosts are different. 3) Now try to sudo in a new window. It outputs an error message. $ sudo -s sudo: unable to resolve host abc123 - Note: Reboot will fix the situation because hostname is set to the value found in the "/etc/hostname". It's the value you gave at installation. $ cat /etc/hostname beta-blocker What do you say? -- resolver breaks several apps with all-numeric hostnames https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
