Package: siproxd
Version: 1:0.7.1-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
I've backported the latest siproxd (from experimental) on a Debian
Etch. It didn't work at first, and activating debug traces, I've found
that when using this proxy in a chroot jail (default configuration), the
DNS resolution isn't working :
siproxd[10444]: utils.c:193 gethostbyname(ekiga.net) failed: h_errno=1 [Unknown
host]
I've found a similar report on the web :
http://osdir.com/ml/network.siproxd/2005-10/msg00004.html
and I've implemented the trivial solution suggested, as the resolution
of 'localhost' don't seem sufficient (see attached patch), and it works
fine now.
Fred.
